XI. No. 3 NEW YORK, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1021 GRAT PLEA FOR RACE UNITY BY PROVISIONAL PRESIDENT OF AFRICA FELLOW MEN OF THE NEGRO RACE, Greeting: For 31 days Negro Deputies and Delegates from all parts of the world, representing the 400 million members of our race, sat in Convention in New York City and legislated for our future good and welfare. The Convention this year surpassed in every detail. the one of last year. Not a stone was left unturned to bring about a readjustment in the affairs of the race, and now that the Convention has risen, and the Delegates are on their way to their respective homes, we feel sure that in another year, the Universal Negro Improvement Association will have become the greatest human power of the twentieth century. Our Delegates are going back with their hearts and souls aflame for the cause of the redemption of Africa. This propaganda must be scattered to the four corners of the globe. Men, women and children everywhere must be converted to the needs of the Negro and the reasonableness of a Free and Redeemed Africa. I am asking Negroes everywhere to give support to our accredited representatives as they shall approach you in the different communities to which they shall be sent. Each country and each State will have a Commissioner whose duty it will be to supervise the work of the organization in that country and in that State. Each Division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association will have an Executive Secretary who will be a Civil Servant, so that every branch and community will be properly protected by a supervision that is necessary to insure honesty of administration. Now is the time for each and every Division, Branch and Chapter of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to exert itself for the speedy realization of the objects of our movement. All those who have not yet linked up themselves with this, the greatest Negro Institution, are asked to do so immediately. We must all realize that there is no time to waste. The work that is to be done for the freedom of Africa and the emancipation of 400 million Negro souls must be undertaken immediately. The Universal Negro Improvement Association has undertaken a task bigger that that of any Government. We have to control and discipline 400 million scattered people; to give them one cause, one purpose and convince them that each and every one has but a common destiny. To spread the propaganda alone will take money and brains. In the Convention we have legislated to find and place the men, but we are appealing to the 400 million members to supply the Organization with the necessary funds to finance the mission and thus carry on the work. The Convention voted unanimously that a Universal Negro Improvement Association fund shall be raised by the name of "The African Redemption Fund." Each Arks All Negroes to Donate to "African Redemption Fund" and to Subscribe for More Shares in the Black Star Line—1921- 1922 Expected to Be Banner Year Negro in every part of the world is asked to contribute five dollars or more to this African Redemption Fund, and the money raised will be used for the purpose of redeeming our Motherland Africa. Every man and woman who has an ounce of Negro blood must realize that it is his and her duty to subscribe to such a fund. Just imagine what it would be if every Negro for the ensuing year, would contribute $5.00 towards this fund for the redemption of Africa. It would mean that in 12 months if 200 million members of the race subscribed to this fund, one billion dollars would be raised, and would be at the disposal of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to foster its program for a free and redeemed Africa. With a billion dollars at the command of an organization of this kind it is to be assumed that everything would be made possible in the cause of a free and redeemed Africa. If Negroes will only make up their minds to "put over" this program the money can be raised, not in twelve months, but in two months, thus enabling the organization to immediately put into effect every plan that has been laid out for the speedy carrying out of the great object. Every Negro who donates $5 to the "African Redemption Fund" will be supplied with a Certificate of Patriotism to the cause of Africa by the Universal Negro Improvement Association, with the autograph signatures of the President General, the Secretary General and the High Chancellor. Negroes in the western world should take it as a privilege to subscribe to such a fund, considering the length of time we have been separated from our Motherland, the punishment our parents have undergone in this western world, and the sacrifice made by them in labor and blood and death, to make us educationally, what we are; in common gratitude if for nothing else, we should contribute $5 to the blessed memory of those who died to bring us up to the standard of civilization, that we in our own time can sponsor the cause of a free and redeemed Motherland. Let us go about this thing with a whole, heartedness not less warm than the Irish and the Jew in their cause for freedom. If Negroes will they can do. Let us will it now. the bigger plans of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Millions and millions of dollars of raw materials are now perishing in Africa, South and Central America for the want of ships at the disposal of our race. Our people are holding their produce in different parts of the world awaiting the arrival of the ships of the Black Star Line. They feel that the profits that others have made out of them in the past should now be made by the Black Star Line, and by the Negro race, and the great need is for the ships to remove these products and materials from the markets of America, Europe and Asia. If every member of the race besides subscribing to the African Redemption Fund will buy more shares in the Black Star Line immediately, and enable the Corporation to raise its capital, it would mean that 1921 and 1922 would be a banner year in the history of the Negro peoples of the world; there would be no more talk of unemployment because with a fully subscribed capital in the Black Star Line, with all her ships in operation, with a large fund at the disposal of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, work could be provided for every Negro in every part of the world. Let us not sit idly by and criticize. Let us not say it cannot be done, but let us all use the intelligence, ability and education that we possess, focusing our interest in the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and put this gigantic program over. Men and women of the Negro Race, I appeal to you today from a heartfelt consciousness that the thing can be done. In four years we have climbed from an insignificant movement into an institution that line absolutely no parallel. The Universal Negro Improvement Association has impressed the world that men, races and Governments everywhere are talking about its influence and its influence. If you would like to hear of Negroes building Schools and Negroes building Factories, and running Retailers of their own, of Negroes building Colleges, Universities and Churches, of Negroes building Cities, and Nations of their own, then fully now to the call of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and subscribe your $5.00 to the African Redemption Fund, and buy your shares in the Black Star Line, whether it be five, ten, twenty, fifty, one hundred or five hundred at $5.00 each. Write immediately to the Universal Negro Improvement Association and send in your $5.00 to the African Redemption Fund, and send to the Black Star Line, Inc., 56 West 120th Street, New York City, for your shares at $5.00 each. Wishing you the best of success in your endeavors. I have the house to be your home. Your obedience is requested. New York City, August 12th, 1890. NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION URGES NEGROES CELEBRATE AUGUST THIRTY-FIRST AS NATIONAL HOLIDAY LIBERTY HALL, New York, Aug. 28, 1921.—Before the largest audience that has filled Liberty Hall since the beginning of the second international convention of Negroes of the world, Mrs. Helena Hill-Weed, daughter of an ex-Congressman of Connecticut and public-spirited citizen, representing the Haiti and San Domingo Independent Society, delivered a ringing speech in behalf of Haiti and Santo Domingo. This society seeks to bring about, through the influence of public opinlon, the withdrawal of the United States Government from its present control of both countries. Mrs. Hill-Weed is a young woman of splendid education and force of character. She said she was a militant suffragette, having spent more than eight years in the cause of woman suffrage, and that she was interested in the complete freedom and liberation of all peoples, irrespective of race, color or nationality. The society she represents is one of recent origin and is fostered by like-minded men and women interested in the cause of freedom, and in particular in the restoration to Haiti and Santo Domingo of their governments. She touched upon the alleged atrocities and the injustice perpetrated by the American marines under orders of temporary civil authorities at Washington, and it is the desire of herself and those acting with her in this movement to see the wrongs done the Haitians and the Santo Domingans redressed. A thorough investigation of the subject of the military occupation and control of the two islands by the United States has been ordered in Congress, and she urged all Negroes having the right to vote to write their Congressmen and Senators to take favorable action upon the project. "I believe," said Mrs Hill-Weed in her closing remarks, "that liberty is a fundamental desire, a fundamental demand of the human soul, and that liberty is the hope of every human soul that God put upon this earth. So as comrades in the cause of liberty, as brothers and sisters in the human family, I greet you and wish you Godspeed in this great work that you are carrying on." Sir. Wm. H. Ferris, M. A. Knighted, last evening by His Highness the Potentate for distinguished services rendered to the race, was called upon to speak and dwell at length upon his impressions of the court reception alluded to. He said he believed in the principle of rewarding merit, and that the hope of recognition and reward to those of the race who endeavor to accomplish things worthy to it and of benefit to it and to humanity should serve as an incentive to other achievements. His Excellency Hon. Rev J. W. H. Eason, the American Leader, spoke upon "Love and Service" and drew upon history for numerous examples wherein great men have chosen to make sacrifices, even to the cost of their lives, that they might uphold a principle they believed in, or might do some good to humanity or to their nation or race. This spirit, he maintained, is seen in the Universal Negro Improvement Association and its mighty program, and in the slogan, "Africa for the Africans!" He then painted a glowing picture, drawn from the imagination of the final consummation of the plaque of the U. N. L. A. when in Africa, amid happy villages, peaceful cities, progressive states, there would be a Negro republic of all the governments of Africa united as one, with a beautiful capital building towering to the skies, from which would be seen stepping forth Negro Supreme Court Judges, Negro members of Congress, Negro Senators and a Negro President under the banner of the Red, the Black and the Green. Mr. John Davis, the African native prince and delegate, from the west coast of Africa, delivered another of his characteristic speeches which delighted and interested his audience. At Coming Negro Orator Master Lambert Tobias was the first speaker, and as a juvenile orator made a great hit. His was a race speech which closed with an appeal to his hearse to keep up the good work for as to hasten the ultimate redemption of Africa. He was loudly cheered for his effort. Dry, the first time since her return from the Southwest, Madame Barrier Houston, was the soloist tonight and wondered, two of her choosest pieces, solving any usual, with great charm breathtening, and was loudly en- hanced, which inclined her to respond to singing "Combe Through the Rye." Mrs. Gould, Western also sang a solo, in addition to which the band and the choir contributed as part in contrib- tions to the musical program of the sessions. The High Chancellor, Rev. Dr. O. O. Starrick, read the Scripture fighting spirit of Col. Harrigan, and more than all, we want men with the courage of Marcus Garvey. Delegates, in going to your respective homes I want you to spread the objects of the Universal Negro Improvement Association among the boys and girls of our noble race. In conclusion, I must ask to you to keep up the good work so as to enhance the redemption of Africa. (Aphrause.) Sir Wm. Ferrie Speake Sir Wm. H. Ferria, M. A., spoke as follows Your Excellency, Provisional President of Africa, Right Honorable Members of the Executive Council, Fellow Delegates to the Second International Convention of Negroes of the World, Ladies and Gentlemen: It gives me a feeling of pride tonight to be introduced as "His Wm. H. Favris." Last night was a very solemn occasion. I had the privilege of visiting over three hundred different towns and cities in twenty-five States of the United States of America. I have seen all kinds of pages and celebrations and functions, but last night's scene, when His Highness the Poleiate held and received the dignitaries of the Negro race with dignity and grace, was the most impressive spectacle that I have witnessed in my travels. It gave an idea of what the court of Ethiopia was in the days of the Queen of Sheba, Queen Candace, and the Ethiopian kings. The Assistant Counselor General Wm. T. Matthews, voiced the sentiment of my mind when he said that there was one thing which Marcus Garvey has taught the Negro race, and that is to appreciate merit and achievement When I saw Sir John E. Bruce, who for forty years has attained prominence as a writer and a dauntless and intrepid champion of his race, who organized the Negro Society of Historical Research, receive the honor of knighthood conferred upon him, I thought it was a worthy reward for his deeds and achievements. With all of her mistakes, there is one thing which England has bequeathed to civilization, and that is the principle of rewarding service and deeds with some kind of honor. (Applause.) The honoring of men with the title of knight, or of earl, or of duke, or of marquets, the conferring upon individuals the degrees of LL.D., D. D. and D. C. L. at English commencements, demonstrates a guiding principle of human nature, namely, to recognize achievement, and what the English universities have done for the cultural life of England. Yale and Harvard have done for the cultural life of the American nation, the U. N. L. A. will do for the black people of the world. (Applause.) I noticed through one journal last week, it stated the things which the U. N. L. A. did which it ought not to have done, and the things it had not done, which it ought to have done. I attended two of the great conferences of the Aro-American Council, the State Squadr League, the Equal Rights League, the National Negro Business League, and the Niagara Movement and the sentiment of Mr. Williams, of Boston, accorded with my own estimate, when he said that he has never wilmed a Negro gathering where so much constructive legislation had been put through as has been put through by this convention. (Applause.) There is a great deal wrapped up in the idea proposed and adopted by the convention of a civil service method of employing employees to do the work of this, of W. I. A.; a great deal wrapped up in the idea of selecting a Minister of Industries and Edison, for the world, in an economic slump now, economical and industrial problems are coming more and more to the front, and in the Negro mass—the hands upon the throttle风机 of the world's industries, and the world's economics is will be able to give a good account in itself and demand something on the law. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1921 Will Mark Close of Second International Convention of 31 Days—Plans in Preparation to Make it Notable Event MRS. HELENA HILL-WEED, DAUGHTER OF EX-CONGRESSMAN HILL OF CONNECTICUT AND PUBLIC SPIRITED CITIZEN, ADDRESSES LIBERTY HALL SUNDAY NIGHT AUDIENCE IN BEHALF OF HAITI AND SANTO DOMINGO Sir Wm. H. Ferris, His Excellency J. W. H. Eason, American Leader, and John Davis, Native African, Speak period in his or her lift, met some industrial, some economic some social, some civil, some political barrier, because of the color of his or her skin, and because of his or her racial identity. That is nothing new in human history. Caste pride has existed from the dawn of human history, and the men of the races who have survived caste prejudice have been able to do so because of some quality that was within them. The first time Dishraa arose to speak in the British Parliament he was biased down—hoofed down—jeered down. But," he said, "the time will come when you will be glad to listen to me, and inside of twenty-five years he became Prime Minister of England. There was that in his personality which enabled him to conquer environment. There was another man, born in Santo Domingo, Toussaint L'Oveurien who was born a slave, taught himself to read and write, never saw an army until he was fifty years of age. Yet, such was the genius of the man, such the inborn courage he possessed, such his constructive mind, that he turned a feeble mass of broken-down slaves into an army of able-bodied men, led them out against his enemies and drove out the English, the Spanish and the French and made Haiti a free nation. And the spirit that permeated Diasaril, the spirit that permeated Toussaint L Overeur, the spirit that permeates Marcus Garvey, the spirit that will not go down in the face of adversity, the spirit that permeates Lody Henrietta Vinton Davis, the Joan of Arc, the Maid of Orleans of our race, the spirit that has taken possession of the leaders of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, by which they have forged forward in the face of obstacles and opposition because of the motive force and driving power behind them, is the spirit that is going to lead the Negro race out of the valley of despond to the Mount Ararat of hope With the miraculous growth and development of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, with the enthusiasm of the masses and the money that it can command, all things possible if the movement be but wizily directed. When we think that, in this convention we have had such distinguished visitors as an economic export like Prof George E Haynes, a social worker like the Rev D Bagnall of Boston, and a inguisht like Mr Gill as well as others of the most able men of the race. It shows that the U N I A has focused upon it the thought power and the brain power of the Negro race and the white race as no other movement emanating from black men ever has done. And it means a great deal that, in the space of three and a half years, the Hon Marcus Garvey has founded the U N I A which functioning through the Black Star Line and through the Negro Factories Corporation, can command the attention and admiration of the world and cause the new Negro to be taken seriously (Applause) It is now up to us, my friends, to measure up, by our deeds and achievements, to these high hopes and expectations, and demonstrate to the entire world that the new Negro can not only orate and think and plan, but also put his dreams, his ideas, his ideas and his visions into concrete embodiment and incarnation. (Great applause.) The American Leader Speaks. Rev Dr J. W H Eason, upon being introduced, spoke in part, as follows. May it please your Excellency. Provisional President of Africa, President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League, distinguished members of the High Executive Council, worthy guest, ladies and gentlemen:—I am delighted with the opportunity of addressing you briefly this evening, being still inspired and almost enchanted by the wonderful demonstration manifested in our presence here last evening. Some years ago, when a boy, I read a book entitled, "When Knighthood Was in Flower," and I remember the beautiful language of that book and the beautiful thoughts and ideas it contained. Last night as I wandered back over a few years of my life, I was again reminded that while we have our wonderful scholars, while we have our mighty soldiers, and while we had the pioneers of civilization thousands of years ago, I also remembered that other nations and other races wrought deeds of daring in the days of old when knights did deeds of chivalry. We further add to them our accomplishments, of the past, and our hopes and aspirations for the present and the future, and we readily see from what transpired last night, through his Excellency, the President-General, of his wonderful work. His Highness, the Potentate, and their associates, that knighthood the world over is agile, coming into flower, and that black knights are at the head of them all. (Applause.) *Love and Service*; *I am to speak to you on the subject,* *Love and Service, this Quality, and* *Action for the Development of the* OF INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION OF NEGROES WEDNESDAY NIGHT, AUG. 31, AT 8 O'CLOCK SHARP AT LIBERTY HALL Get Your Tickets at the Hall Any Night or at the Office Universal Negro Improvement Association, 50 West 185th Street To Miss This Great Closing Convention Meeting Is to Miss the Chan co of a Life Time Highest Statesmanship." Standing in front of Westminster Abbey in London, England, some time ago, I saw an inscription above the entrance to that wonderful cathedral, "Love and Service." We find that those are two qualities, or rather that love is the quality, and service the action, which prompt individuals to high statesmanship. This is seen in the choice of Moses of old, choosing rather to suffer affliction with his people than to enjoy the throne of Egypt for a season. It is further seen in the action of the prophet-Statesmen Isaiah, Jeremiah and Daniel, choosing rather to advocate the complete freedom of an oppressed people, choosing rather to hold up before the world high ideals and God-like aspirations than to allow themselves to be engulfed under the control of rich, powerful monarchs of their day. It is further seen in the action of Socrates in the days of Grecian glory choosing rather to stand for an ideal and for a philosophy that he knew would benefit humanity than to sacrifice his manhood, sacrifice his ideals, in order that he might escape drinking the poison hemlock It is further seen in the actions in the orations and in the works of the immortal Cleiro thunderding in the Roman forum against the treachery the duplicity and the intrigues of the mighty Cataline It is further seen in the actions of Lafayette of France, choosing rather to fight with the American patriots in order to throw off the English yoke than to live in peace and prosperity and plenty in the sunny lands of France. It is again seen in the actions of Hampden, the able, consummate flower of English glory choosing rather to stand the four-square to the winds that blow in order that an ideal, that a high principle might be held up to the world, rather than stoop for the sake of glory and allow humanity to continue to suffer It is again seen in the actions of George Washington, the Father of America, choosing rather to suffer with the barefooted, bleeding soldiers at Valley Forge and at Yorktown, rather than to live with the nobles of Virginia and get a lasting heritage from the crowned heads of Europe His Excellency Hon. J. W. H. EASON, Leader of American Negroes His Grace the Chaplain General, GEORGE ALEXANDER McGUIRE WILL BE THE PRINCIPAL SPEAKERS Mime. Fraser Robinson, Principal Soloist FULL STRENGTH OF BLACK STAR LINE BAND THIS WILL BE A ROYAL TIME FOR HARLEM Be Early to Get Seats as Only Six Thousand Persons Can Be Seated Toussaint L Overture of Haitt, who decided to lay down the life of every individual in the island of Haitt, rather than suffer slavery in his dominion (Appiause) It is again seen in the life of Frederick Douglas, who walked away from slavery into freedom, and chose rather to champion the cause of an oppressed people during his eventful career than to enjoy the emoluments of man It is again seen in the action of Antonio Maceo dying upon the battlefield of oppressed Cuba in order to gain the freedom of his people (Appiause) Higher Citizenship This wonderful quality of love, and this powerful act of service are manifested in the actions of men and women in their willingness for ages and for centuries to suffer to bleed and if for centuries to die for an ideal rather than allow weak humanity to be crushed by the heels of the powerful nations of the world. It is seen in the Universal Negro Improvement Association and its mighty programme started by the greatest genius of the age, and fostered by men, women and children who have suffered, who have prayed, who have died and whose spirits are hovering over this building tonight, to give increased inspiration to those of us who still live (Applause) It is seen in the mighty programme that says 'Now and forever after whether in Haiti, Santo Domingo, South America, the United States or in Africa itself—Africa shall be free' This quality and this work of action is again seen in the mighty slogan 'Africa for the Africans' (Applause). And carrying out this idea of higher citizenship, this idea of the highest usefulness to mankind, this idea of the highest statesmanship, that losses sight of self loss sight of individuals in order that suffering humanity might be free. It is seen in the wonderful programme of the provisional government of Africa (Applause). And I observe love and service in the final consummation of our plans and our aims and objects. I see on the continent yonder loving men and happy women, smiling children, playing maidens, strong and powerful men walking under their own vine and fig tree, with their banners streaming over their heads and emblematic of the black and the green (Applause). I see beautiful women. peaceful cities, progressive States, a wonderful country with a mighty city building; I see marching in and out man of power, men of thought, men of vision, men of ability as Supreme Court judges, as members of Congress, as senators, and I see women, too, with their knightly carriage and their political positions on an equality with the men. But in the midst of that wonderful building, with its golden dome kissing the skies and its wonderful, spacious rooms of state, of power, of majesty, of beauty. I see walking a prince among men, a king among kings, a ruler of rulers, a leader of leaders, not then as the president-general of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League, not as Provisional President of Africa, but as the President of all the federated governments, united as one, on the Black 'continent of Africa, under the banner of the Red, the Black and the Green: Great applause. Seeks Maitian Liberation The next speaker introduced was Mra. Helena Hill-Wood a Caucasian lady, representing the Hayyti and Santo Domingan Independent Society The president-general in introducing her said This lady represents an organization that is working with might and main to bring about the cessation of the occupation of Santu Domingo and Hayt by the United States Government. As some of you are aware there are white organizations working in the interests of oppressed people, such as the Friends of Irish Freedom, the Friends of Indian Freedom, the Soviet movement and other such organizations. This organization (the Hayt and Santo Domingo Independent Society) is a similar organization, and the lady to whom I will introduce you will explain the aims and objects of the society. Her society ought to be encouraged because it is doing a good work—a work that affects us. The freeing of Hayt and Santo Domingo from the occupation of the United States of America is a thing desired by all well-thinking Negroes, and since they are working to that end it is for us to give them a cordial welcome to Liberty Hall—the cradle of liberty—because in this instance they are working for one of the things we are working for—the freedom of all Negro countries. Therefore any moral and other support we can give them to free Hayt and Santo Domingo from the occupation of alien government they may count upon at this time. Mrs. Hill-Weed Speaks Mrs. Weed then rose and said Your Excellency, Honorable Officers and Delegates of This Great Association I am so thrilled by the genius of your great leader by the ability of his leadership, his marvelous vision and the spirit that you have shown here in these meetings which I have attended last week, that I have almost forgotten what I came here to say tonight. When I heard that magnificent speech of Captain Gaines the other evening I told him it reminded me of the meetings I had to attend in the Great Association of --- the militant suffrage movement; because I want you to know that I am a militant—a militant for liberty, wherever liberty is seeking to be heard and to be found. And we women in the militant suffrage movement worked for freedom for women—national freedom for women of every race and of every color. I want you to know that we could have had freedom for women two years before we had it if we women in the militant movement had been willing to say that we would not insist upon the right of Congress to enforce that freedom in every State in the Union. We said we would not have freedom for white women if freedom for black women does not go with it. (Applause.) Maitlana Outraged I must not waste any more of the precious ten minutes to talk to you about freedom for woman, because I am here to talk to you abnot a movement which has been started within the last two or three weeks here in the United States. It is with shame that every right-thinking American who believes in the ancient principles of liberty and democracy upon which this government was founded; it is with shame when we think of the acts that have been perpetrated upon friendly nations by temporarily powerful officers of this government who were disloyal in their treatment of Hayti and Santo Domingo and who were disloyal to every principle that America stands for. I am not going into that disgraceful story of what those officials did and what those officials forced the officers of our navy to do in Hayti and Santo Domingo. Only yesterday officers of the United States navy said to me: "We feel outraged that civilians who are powerful in the United States can order the United States navy about to do their dirty work. And I know another naval officer who asked to be relieved from duty down there because he said the only alternative was for him to resign his commission. Now there is this feeling on the part of men and women in this country: if we are going to compel these officers whom we have elected to carry out the laws of this country and to carry out its executive powers, we are going to compel them to be faithful to our American ideals of government. I am not going into, as I say, the story of what happened in Haytli: I just want to call your attention to one or two things. In the first place the opinion prevails that the reason of that occupation was that Haytli had not paid her debts and had to be made to by this government or some other government would step in and make her. That is absolutely untrue, but that is the information that has been spread all through this country by those commercial interests who went down into Haytli to exploit that country for the benefit of their own pockets. Haytli has never repudiated one single penny of her foreign debts, and they never had lapsed until after the occupation went in and took possession of Haytian finances, and those (Continuation Page 4) ANCIENT ETHIOPIAN CEREMONIAL COURT RECEPTION REVIVED AND SCENES OF UNUSUAL POMP, MAGNIFICENCE AND SPLENDOR BY U.N.L.A. LIBERTY HALL, New York, Aug. 27, 1921—Under the auspices of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the second international convention of Negroes of the world was held tonight as Liberty Hall what must be conceded to be, without exception, the greatest state social event that has taken place among black people in the last three hundred years. It was a ceremonial that may correctly be regarded as a revival of the ancient glory, pomp and splendor of Ethiopia in the days of the Queen of Sheba, centuries long ago, of her greatness and world supremacy, comparable to similar state functions held in the ceremonial courts of England, Germany, Italy, France and the United States. It was representative, not, not only of the very best elements in the race, but representative as well of the highest Negro culture, there having been present men and women in every walk of life, as ministers, doctors, lawyers, architects, engineers, teachers, financiers, merchants, business men, dressmakers, designers, milliners, hairdressers, restaurateurs, etc. Persons of prominence and note were knighted, as in the days of old, for distinguished service rendered to the race, men and women of outstanding character and ability were presented to His Highness the Potentate, and several young musses also presented upon making their social debut All this took place and was done amid a gorgeous, dazzling scene that could not but evoke the highest admiration and delight of those fortunate enough to witness it, and stir to the very depths of one's soul a true feeling of race consciousness and race pride. For here one stood in a blaze of brilliant scenery—men in uniforms; ladies, young and old, in beautiful elaborate gowns in the latest modes, gentlemen in full dress, decorations all around in the colors of the Red, the Black and the Green, bunting, flags, Japanese lanterns, flowers, palm plants and ferns tastefully arranged here and there, and here one found himself in the midst of a select assemblage of more than 1.500 persons. In short, it is no exaggeration to say that it was a scene that had never before been beheld anywhere among Negro people in this or any other part of the world in modern times. THE STREETS OF BOSTON The affair concluded with a banquet to the high officials of the association and delegates to the convention and 500 invited guests, a grand ball, the latter being begun by a waltz number, played for the special benefit of the newly-titled distinguished persons and the members of the High Executive Council. It was an historic event and, unlike social functions held in the past, Negro association members were not an empty display of grandeur, but an occasion of far-reaching import to the Negro race in that it was a manifestation of the tremendous possibilities within the black people of the world for their future development along industrial, commercial, educational and significant of their determination, through the instrumentality of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and its subsidiary branches, to put over completely the program of the redemption of Africans and absolute freedom from the form of oppression and injustice by which they are now beset. Truly, it was wonderful occasion, one that will ever linger in the memory because of its brilliance and its meaning as the dwelling of an uprising new generation, so that has established for them as a CIR GEORGE T.

Usher, either in full dress or in uniform, were stationed here and there to assist at both entrances to take care of the people as they entered and to seat them Liberty Hall on ordinary occasions is filled with chairs, but tonight the majority of these, particularly those that were directly in front of the rostrum, are space being covered in part with matting rugs.

Her parents were Mansfield Vinton Davis and Mary Davis. Her parents, when three years old her mother married Capt. George H. Hackett a prominent citizen of Baltimore, who loved his race. When eleven years old her stepfather died after mother then removed to Washington, where she was given a government position. Miss Davis was educated in the schools of Washington and Boston. After graduation she became a clerk in the office of the Recorder of Deeds of Washington, and colored woman ever appointed in the Recorder of Deeds' office. During Mr. Douglas' incumbency of the office of Recorder of Deeds he encouraged Miss Davis to study elocution, as she had been studying the art of studying elocution in *New York and Boston* for three years she made her debut in the city of Washington, being introduced by the Hon. Frederick Douglas, and achieved顺利 success in the art of elocution. Tracer of Boston and William H. DuPree, who was postmaster of South Boston, managed her tour, and then Mr. Tracer arranged an Ohio tour, which was very successful. Miss Davis was the first woman and Central America and part of South America, adding new laurels to her crown. the Pomona Bakery Enterprises, under the direction of M. H. C. Franola. Streamers in black, red and green were strung in various directions over the hall. The ceiling and above it, celling and above it, in the center, while small Japanese fanatics, brightly illuminated, were suspended from one end of the hall to the other. On the platform was a beautiful mahogany porch suit, loaned, for the occasion, by the owner of the home. This consisted of chairs, lounging chairs and rockers, the chair placed in the center being used by his Highness, the Potentate, the throne of the reception. Each of these had soft, velvety upholstery. The chair was black and green colors. Back of these stood a victoria, and behind that a swinging settee with pancopy, and on either side, toward the end of the platform, were two settees, one of willow and one of mahogany. The floor was an adjustable mirror. The platform was covered, with soft green carpets. A full lamp was placed behind the throne reception chair, its light shading golden light, a lale a marvellous, the head of Notwithstanding many tempting offers to tour England and the continent by losing her racial identity, Miss Davis preferred to remain true to the race and gain what laurels she might win. About three years ago she became identified with this great world movement, which is sweeping the world under the able leadership of the Hon. Marcus Gavry, and she has worked ardently for the cause. She went on the first trip of the Yarmouth and the Hanawa, using all her wide knowledge and art and resourcefulness were a powerful asset to the U. N. I. A. cause. As a director of the Black Star Line and in her capacity as international organizer she visited Jamaica and Central America on the first trip of the Yarmouth. She remained in Central America 20-20ths, speaking to the largest audience, selling many books and attending the second turn to New York on the second trip of the Black Star liner. After spending some time in the United States Miss Davis returned to the West Indies via Cuba on the S. K. Kanawa. Her high courage and presence mind under pressure during training covered the sifation more than once. She joined Mr. Garvey and party in Santiago de Cuba, went to Jamaica and returned to America via British Honduras and Guatemala. His Highness, the Potentate. The background was draped in gold effect. A tall Ethiopian vase on a hand-carved stump stood in the center of the room, representing Africa. Central America, North America and the West Indies. The edge of the platform were decorated with fern leaves, interpelled with yellow and white daisies. Large fern plants were also on the rooftop at each end, also vases, with bouquets of white flowers. The Black Star Lane Bound, under Prof. William Isaes, was then placed below this, to the left, while of a little farther sat the chore in their, white surplices and black cages, under the direction of Prof. Arnold J. Forn. The large surplices on the floor level, to the left of the chore, and was occupied by the central reporters of the association, Mr. N. Newton Brittallwath and his associate, Mr. James H. G. Green, and rowers representatives of the H.K. M.E. and white crosses. On the pages of the book, glittered images of the fern leaves and high light images included. pello small American flags that appeared here and there. At one end of the rostrum was a large silk flag of the U. N. L. A., while at the other end was a large silk flag of the same size. The simple effect of the decorations was very striking. These were made under the supervision of the High Commissioner, Rev. Dr. Wilcoom H. Eligor, with the aid of Madame H. Sharperman Young, Miss Amy Jacques and Miss Martha Rodrigans, one of the uberes of Liberty Hall and its official decorator. As the high officials entered they were escorted by uniformed members of the African Legion to the alienation room, where they awaited the time for the reception to begin. At about 8:20 o'clock a bugle call was given, announcing that all was ready. The African Legion, 45 men, under Lt. Col. Harrington, Cross Nurses, 45 in number, under Mr. J. Willmann, the Women's Motor Corps of 13, under the leadership of Capt. Mary Charles; the Juvenile Corps of 28 girls, under Lt. Lieutenant C. B. King; Capt. Alfred King, had been lined up in the western end of the hall. Immediately Capt. Harrigan and four of his men marched to the east end and Capt. Harrington, Chaplain General, His Highness the Potentate, the Provisional President of Africa, end the American Leader, as they marched forward to review the uniformed divisions, all of whom stood in the front of the officials slowly walked past and closely inspected them. His Highness the Porintate wrote the same uniform he wore, on the morning of the opening of the convention, consisting of a military hat with a crown, two black trousers with gold strap, down the side, gold sword, gold earl over the shoulder and around the waist, white gloves and gold military cap. The Provisional President of Africa wore a military hat, very pointed, tipped with white feathers, broadside, gold sword and red trimmings on the sleeves, gold sword and white gloves. He looked the image of Marshal Johne, though he seemed a trifle unaccented in his now, unaccented attire. The American Leader also were a uniform somewhat similar to that of the Provisional President, with sufficient difference to make a distinction between the two, his hat having an oatrich feather trimming, much like the hats worn on dress occasions. He wore a black cap, a white shirt, Dr. Eason, tail and of attendant physique-made a brilliant, noble roaring general. The Chaplain General wore a uniform such as Army Chapels wear on dress occasions in the countries of Europe and England; add to which he wore a black trimmed with face. He carried in one hand the rudiment of the M. L. A. and in the other a brass red tie, like a anaphor's crook. He wore white gloves and a mite cap. Over his shoulders he wore a colored robe bedding his station. His appearance was that of an ecclesiastical prelate. The inspection of the uniformed divisions being over, the most�ous were scorted-back to the top eastern end of the hill, whence, while the band played the national pattern of the association, the processing began, headed by the entire African Legion, and followed by all the members of the High Executive Council, aும்paniled by their wives, including High Hon.�les Harriottis Viaton Davis, in international Organization.

If he attempts it he will be deported, sent to prison or shot. If the courageous editor of the Crusader were to go to Jamaica and attempt to raise an army to throw off the English yoke, if he were to go to any of the French colonies and attempt to raise an army to throw off the French yoke he would have the pleasure and privilege of enjoying prison fare and possibly going to an early grave. If he has not the time and money to go to these countries he might in the September issue of his journal state that in the event of war between the United States and Japan, the American Negro should join arms with Japan and that the American Negroes should form a Japanese and anti-American society and would then discover how long the American Government would tolerate disloyalty. "AFRICA Started by the tion for Asked The University responsibility of of the world an universal fund To be a loyal citizen in the sense that one does not attempt to undermine the government by acts of violence or to send arms and ammunition to restless colonies does not mean that one can do nothing at home or abroad to right wrongs, redress grievances and alleviate conditions The Anti-Slavery Movement the Temperance Crusade and the Woman's Suffrage Movement in America shows what the pulp, platform, press and pen can do to right wrongs One can be loyal to the government under which he lives and still plead the cause of bleeding Africa, still go there as missionaries and educators, still enter into trade relations with her, still develop her commercially and leave the rest to Father Time Africa will be redeemed, not so much by outside interference as by the development of the African himself. The process of evolution will work in the case of the African as it has in the case of men of other races and nations and climes. Had the second international convention of Negroes done nothing else but establish a Civil Service Department and a Department of Industry and Labor it would be well worth the sitting through thirty-one days. Before the Woolworth Building could rise to a height of 792 feet the foundation was laid deep and strong. So is it with the U. N. I. A. and the second international convention of Negroes. The readers of the dongs of the convention as reported in The Negro World can realize how vital matters which affect the future welfare of the U N I A. and the Negro peoples of the world were wisely dealt with. Before one can do great big things there are several smaller things to be attended to, as the builders of skyscrapers, bridges, steamships and locomotives well know. And the second international convention of Negroes attended to the things necessary to future success W. H F HOW THE HAUGHTY WHITES TREAT NATIVE RACES A Kick the Cause of the Moorish War—Will It Be the Cause of the Africn War?—Gen. Weyler Tells Why 10,000 Were Killed and 17,000 Captured by Moors the rear against heights defended by more than 30,000 warlike, well armed men." General Silvestro paid with his life for his temerity. He was massacred with his whole staff and his severed head was carried about on the point of a spear. Not only was the entire army captured for occupation, but 5,000 more from various positions in the Rift region were captured by the tribesmen. 3,000 Killed, 17,000 Captured About 3,000 Spaniards were killed and 17,000 were captured. The booty comprised 18,000 rifles, 150 guns, 100 machine.guns, 75 motor truck 2 airplanes and large quantities of munitions, supplies and other materials. The total value of the booty is estimated at $60,000,000. At the hour of writing the insurgent army numbers about 40,000, and it will be necessary to oppose them with a force of $60,000. The silvestro had a modern armament for French and German dealers, and they are drilled by officers who came from demobilized armies of the World War. It is said that now that Ab-del-Krim's vengeance has been attained he has no further desire to continue the revolt, and is disposed to negotiate for the submission of Riff. But he is shrewd, and certainly will know how to exploit the advantages of which the prisoners in his hands are one of the greatest MRS.

This is what I think about that write-up You have done ma in the sales of that book, more harm than you have done me good. Thank you. You have given me 400,000,000 Negroes of the world to understand that there is a woman of the race who, through her efforts to do something for humanity, failed. Though she is not competent to do much, she deserves the credit for trying. That book, "My Work and Public Sentiment," has been written up in white papers and Negro papers all over this Union, but none have ever tried to hamper the sale of it before you have done in the Negro World. You have given me editions of those papers tried to shame the writer of that book as has the editor of the Negro World. Thank you. The mechanical part of the book is not good. It is very faulty and that has been said by individuals to me. But I have a way of expressing myself that others do not have, it is true; and I am sure it is not poor diction either.

These restless and impatient human spirits complain and criticize because the U. N. I. A. did not in the space of twenty-one day conventions solve every racial problem when it takes the Congress of the United States from six to eight months to through important measures, when it took Rome nearly 500 years to evolve into the empire of the Caesars and the Anglo-Saxon race over two thousand years to develop from tribal clans into the American republic. (Copyright, 1921, by the New York World's MADRID. Aug. 27 — Thousands of Spanish soldiers have been slain or captured, Spain's hold on her Moroccan area badly shaken and her military prestige severely weakened, all because an impotent Spanish general made an attack, selecting an attacker an appeal from a Moroccan shark. A weekly journal published by the African Blood Brotherhood in its American number says on the first page: "Many delegates disasmatifiedrill failure to produce results." Then on the last page it tells an American paragraph What the congress has done and in thirteen short paragraphs what the congress has not done. The congress referred to is the second international Negro convention held in Liberty Hall, New York. The shak is a man in his thrifter—Ab-del Krim of the tribe of Beni Burraghel. The General was Fernandes Silvestre, commandant at Mellilla. Head of the most warlike of all the tribes inhabiting the rocky heights. Ab-del Krim studied law and Arab medicine at the University of Fas and practiced there, the mixed sort at Mellilla. He speaks and writes Spanish perfectly. First we would like to know what the editor of the journal referred to means by results. We would like him to define terms. We have attended two racial conventions held under the auspices of the Atro-American Council and others under the auspices of the State Summer League of Connecticut, the Niagara Movement, the Negro Business League and fraternal and religious organizations. We can truthfully say that we have never attended a racial convention because we mind, which formulated so many constructive pro- Some time ago several sheiks addressed a petition to the commandant at Mellia demanding autonomy for HIH under the patronage of the Sultan FDK-DA-D003 Sultan. General Silivar—FDK-DA-D003 Sultan—stamped on it. The sheiks left him deeply offended and soon afterward the tribesmen rebelled. The Journal of the African Blood Brotherhood says of the second international convention of N-groes: "It has spent more than 30 per cent of its time over the comparatively unimportant matter of delegates' reports, comparatively unimportant in the sense that greater issues were neglected as a consequence." The journal of the ANB B.B. is in error. Only 35 per cent of the time was spent over delegates' reports. Instead of our regarding it as unimportant matter, we regard it as all important. When a patient goes to a competent physician he does not prescribe for the case immediately. First he diagnoses the case. And the diagnosis is the most important matter. It is easy for the physician to treat a patient and prescribe medicine and treatment when he knows what is the matter with him. What perplexes and baffles a physician is when he does not know what is the matter with him. Shakl Dismissed with Mick Abel Krim then went to the General's office and asked him to favor what the shakl had asked for General Silvestre flow into a rage and dismissed the shakl with kicks and blows. The native official left bleeding from the mouth and nose. But before he went his way he covered his index finger with his own blood and crossed the door of the General's house the word "Vengance" in Arabic. He then hastened to place himself at the head of the tribesmen and aroused the whole of Riff, urging the buying of modern rifles and machine guns and the teaching of modern war tactics to the men. When everything broke the blow which the world knows. The delegates from Chicago, Detroit, Pittsburgh and other places called attention to the economic slump and consequent non-employment of Negroes. That caused the convention to establish a department of Industry and Labor and the value of a Minister of Industry and Labor. That fact alone shows the value of delegates' experience of waiting and space we could carefully go over the new amendments to the program and show that they were directly insured by delegates' reports. Ab-del-Kirz is not only a cultivated and intelligent man, but his ideas are progressive and he desires his people to become civilized. He has perfected discipline among his troops and has forbidden the maltreatment of prisoners. He has prescribed severe penal measures, including the combatant and during the uprising he has sent numerous Spanish families and has sent them to Melilla. Then the journal of the A. B. B. says of the convention: "It has required to caution the oppressors of the Negro race." For a consideration of that statement we refer to the August 6 issue of The World, which contains a verbatim report of the addresses of Excellency Marcus Garvey, President-General of the U. and Provisional President of Africa, His Excellency Lazar, the American leader, delivered on the evening of 2 at the Twelfth Regiment Armory and to the reports of York World and other New York dailies the following In Spain just now nobody thinks of anything except the disaster at the hands of the Rift tribesmen. The Mirocan problem, with all that is depending upon it, is the great and only procoeception of the entire country. Spain Seeks Cause of Disaster The government, while feverishly preparing for the coming campaign in the latter part of September, has sent a military commission to inquire into the origin and causes of the disaster. General Weyler, chief of the general commission, familiar to all who know Cuba, attributes to all the "heroes" of General Weyler. Journal of the A.C.B. B. says again of the convention: "It has indoors the friends and natural allies of the Negro race. It has failed to clarify an important issue." A Russian bishop, a clergyman, a champion of Soviet Russia, a representative society of Irish Freedom and a representative of the Haiti-Montserrato Imperiale Society spoke from Liberty Hall and then respectful hearing. This shows the second interim convention of Negroes and an open mind. The convention did not record as indoors these causes because the delegates and the members able to investigate and pass judgment on other movements and organizations, but to formulate their own proposals. Journal of the A.C.B. B. says of the convention: "It has neglected the ridiculous proposition of Mr. Garvey's that the loyal to the flags of the nation that oppress them must be removed from that oppression at the same time; that the French and British flags can be loyal to the liberation of Africa from the domination; that we are not dealing with a guild juris, but a guild in a matter of fact, no organized government." "Modern war heroism," says General Weyler, "is one of the least useful factors. It is nearly always a violent and tardy reaction between lack of threat and errors in calculation. Herodian is superfluous and sometimes hard to a well organized army, like too much fire be too much steam in a well constructed boiler. "General illiterate on one hand allowed himself to be carried away by natural impotence. On the other hand it is obvious that his intelligence service was very defective. He will not know either the force or the tactics of the enemy. Without that he should have taken good care not to advance too much." 3,000 Killad. 17,000 Captured "AFRICAN REDEMPTION FUND" "AFRICAN REDEMPTION FUND" Started by the Universal Negro Improvement Association for the Liberation of Africa—All Negroes Asked to Subscribe Five Dollars or More The Universal Negro Improvement Association, charged with the responsibility of freeing the four hundred million oppressed Negroes of the world and with the redemption of Africa, is now raising a universal fund to capitalize its work for the freedom of Africa. The Second Annual International Convention of the Negro peoples of the world legislated that a capitalization fund for the propagation of the work be raised from among all Negroes under the caption of "The African Redemption Fund", that each member of the Negro race be asked to donate five dollars ($5.00) or more to the fund for the cause of world-wide race adjustment, and the freedom of Africa Fach and every Negro contributing to this fund will receive a certificate of race loyalty given by the Universal Negro Improvement Association with the autographed signatures of the Provisional President of Africa, the Secretary General and High Chancellor of the Universal Negro Improvement Association.

They know that the same interests that are attempting to exploit Haiti opposing the American people of the same time. We protest for ourselves, and we protest on behalf of our brothers and sisters in Haytí and Santo Domingo. National City Bank Influenced and complete, fair and impartial investigation of those charges. That investigation was ordered two or three weeks ago in the United States Senate, and at that moment the Hayti and Santo Domingo Independent Society sprang into existence. We are a group of men and women of all races, of all creeds, of all religions, of every land. We are rich and poor, we are capitalists, we are proletarians; we are black, we are white; we are Indians, we are Chinese. We have them all already in this organization. We represent every shade of thought in the United States and we represent the bond—love of liberty and a desire to do justice and live up to American ideals of international honor. We had three objects: the first was to secure this investigation; an investigation has been ordered. We have engaged one of the finest lawyers in the United States to act as our attorney in that investigation and to see that it is open and fair and complete and thorough. Now we have two things yet to do and it is on these two points that we want to work with you. We are trying to gather into our organisation all of those who know the truth and who have known what is good. We are trying to create public opinion and to focus that public opinion through the dissemination of knowledge. The dissemination of knowledge is creating public opinion on this particular question is because we do not know the situation; we do not know the history and geography of Haiti and Santo Domingo. We do not know her politics; we are in abyssal ignorance of her special customs and the psychology of her people. We, as a people, look at the case of the Haitian people from the standpoint of our own commercial advantage rather than the interest of the Haitian people themselves, and do not know what is good and the commercial interests that are exploiting Haiti control our press and do not permit us to know what is going on. Is our business to throw light on this subject, to let the American people know the truth; and when they do know the truth, they will not. Urge Use of ballot Now, we want every one of you, and I am speaking now particularly to the American men and women, with voice in their hearts, after all, the politician listens to the man and, thank God, to the woman with a vote in their pockets. It has been said that there is nothing that will put the fear of God into the heart of a politician more quickly than the ballot in the hands of honest and intelligent and fearless women. So I appeal to you women to take this matter up and inform yourself on this question. I was so angry this morning when I read in the morning paper a story that appeared in the current number of "Short Stories." It is a most scurrilous, most libellous, vicious, untrue story, labeled fiction, but it is pure propaganda, and I shall make it my business tomorrow morning to walk over to the office of Doubleday, Page & Co. and demand with the power of my association behind me that they give an explanation of publishing such an untruth and give it to the American people. It is a perfect outrage and disgrace, and we have the truth is known and the truth is spread abroad. But that is not enough. We must focus our opinion, focus our knowledge and beliefs and will in political action, and that is to be done by bringing pressure upon your representatives in Congress. This committee will make a report to the Senate of the United States. We are encouraged to believe that that report will recommend that the occupation be immediately withdrawn from Haiti and Santo Domingo and restore them their full independence. (Applause). When the report is made to the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States for action, Your president has told you that my father was a Congressman for twenty-two years from Connecticut, and I know out of my own experience that men in Congress and men in the Senate are only too glad to have their constituent express their will to them and their authority or something in particular when organized predation against them to work against the internet and will of the people. And I urge one of you to go to your homes and inform yourself on the organization to spread it abroad in the newspapers, get every organization to pass resolution; go to every home you know and get every one to write a letter both to their Senator and their Congressman, demanding favorable action on the restoration of full and complete independence to Haiti and Santo Domingo and make separation to them for the injustices and all the inequities and the outrages and the wrongs that individuals with temporary power have imposed upon them in the name of the American people. We want justice done and we in this organization are going to see that it is done. We have no dues in our organization, it is supported by private companies and people who have the power and ability to have really and truly care for liberty. We want an organization numbering thousands and thousands of members. We want you to sign these slips saying you stand for those things for which we are working and we want you to bring pressure to bear from home upon your Senators and Congressmen to see that they are in accordance with the will of the American people. In concluding, may I say to you that it is my belief in regard to *y* in own work as an organization, in regard to the work which we are trying to do in Haiti, in regard to the work which I have spoken about that it is a work for women. I believe that liberty is a fundamental desire the fundamental demand of the human soul, and that liberty is the right of every human soul that God has put upon this earth. And so, comrades, in the cause of liberty, as brothers and sisters in the human family, I greet you and wish you goddesed in this great work that you are carrying on. (Applause) THE ECONOMY OF LIFE I have just read the book bearing the above title by J Edemeston Barnes, a native African. Speaking of Mr. Barnes in the preface, Mr Joseph McCabe says, 'He knows the Bible and its economy of life better than most Englishmen do, for he reads it in the modern, yet he is equally familiar with modern literature. He is as much at home among cultivated people in London, Lolapig or Vienna as among the people of Africa.' Mr Barnes indeed shows himself in this book to be a man of exceptional parts, having a clear grasp of world problems with a power of the pen to render effective his views. His scatching indictment of the Christian religion as practiced by the "world powers" as a means of oppressing weaker people goes home to the heart. The duplicity of England, Germany and even America is brought forward with all these so-called Christian native Mr. Barnes in this book argues for a new order of things or rather a new economy of life, in which all races will make their contribution and share alike in the blessings. M. Barnes in his conclusion however, strikes a rather persuasive note regarding the redemption of Africa—a thing which he considers not an impossibility, but hardly a probability in the present disorganized and indifferent state of Negroes, a condition which Mr. Barnes offers no way out favorable to Africa, when he advises Negroes in foreign countries to conform to the laws of the countries they are in, and lose no time with Africa, which is owned by European nations. The book shows evidence for some of the claims of the scholarly philosopher it contains and shows that disagreese with the author in his conclusions, we must agree that he is a thinker of first rank, and his book should be read by thoughtful man and woman. SECOND INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION OF NEGROES MEASURES ADOPTED FOR THE PROTECTION OF NEGROES EVERYWHERE BOLSHEVIST LEAVES CONGRESS IN HOT HASTE-AFRICAN BLOOD BROTH Several measures of paramount importance to the Negro race were passed by the Second International Negro Convention in Liberty Hall during last week, the fourth week of the congress. The Hon. Marcus Garvey, President-General of the U. N. L. A. and acting speaker in convention, again presided. Interest in the business of the congress reached its acme during the week under review, the gallery being through at every session. The week's sessions were concluded with the election on Friday night of officers for the ensuing year. The following were elected — Secretary-General, Hon. F. A. Tootle. Second Assistant Secretary-General, Hon. R. L. Poston. Secretary-General, Hon. L. R. Poston. Secretary-General, Hon. Dr. J. D. Gibson. Elections in respect of the officers of Hon. Provisional Vice-President of Africa, Assistant President-General West Indian Leader (Eastern Division), and Speaker-in-Convention were fixed to take place last night. SEVENTEENTH DAY Important Government Resolutions Before the order of the day was begun, the following communication from the secretary of the League of Nations was read Genève, Aug 5. 1921 The Secretary World Convention of Negroes New York Sir I have the honor to acknowledge receipt of your telegram dated the 26th of December to the Secretary-General of the League of Nations I have the honor to be, sir, your obedient servant. WM E. RAPPARD. Director of the Mandates Section for the Secretary-General. Sir Marcus Gassett explained that the cagrebler was in acknowledgment of the cagrebler to the League of Nations on August 1, protesting against the Pan-African Congress, and informing the secretary of the League of Nations that Dr. DuBois did not represent the present-day Negro, and that his representations would be unofficial. It was then unanimously carried that a cablagem be sent to the League of Nations depreciating the actions of the nations against the Moors, who had declared war against the Spaniards. The following resolutions were submitted by the administration and carried. High Commissioners to Be Appointed That a high commissioner shall be appointed to represent this organization in every country where Negroes are divided up into state parties the country is divided up into state parties and different sections that a commissioner be appointed to every section and State. That foreign high commissioners be appointed in the rank of ministers properly appointed to the office which shall be domiciled at the capital or recognized governments. The duties must be to keep up friendly relations with the regime of all Negroes. The President, for example, what an official representative of the U N I A would be assigned to such places as Cuba, Haiti, Jamaica, Barbados and Trinidad Countries like the United States of America would be divided into States, where the State was large enough, and to each would be assigned a commissioner who would represent officially the work of the U N I A. supervise the work of the organization in that State or country, and make efforts to promote the work of the organization. 1 The high commissioner would only reside in such countries as France, England and Germany. His duty would be as minister plenipotentiary to protect the interests of Negroes in those quarters and to supply information as to what is being done there to the detriment of the Negroes. The organization might have a full grasp of everything being done by those governments affecting Negroes Passports That a Bureau of Passports and identification be attached to the Secretary-General's office and that each and every office of identification or of identification for the purpose of travel, or for the purpose of receiving recognition, consideration and likely assistance such members connection with a recognized organization, shall be supplied with one of these passports at the organization by the executive secretary. Each passport shall have the photograph of the bearer and his or her signature. Each passport identification shall be issued by the Universal Negro Improvement Association from its headquarters. shall be counterinsurgentamped by the equivalent of the division from which same has been secured. Before passport identification can be received, a passport must have to fill out a form of particular, and only financial members whose duties and assessments have been identified, and records are clean, shall be supplied with a passport identification. The sum of two dollars shall be paid for identification of every passport identification. That the Bureau of Justice through the office of the President-General shall hold a passport identification number who holds a passport identification number who is properly protected in case of abuse, advantage or injustice committed upon such individual. The President-General explained that he had come into contact with hundreds of Negroes in different parts. BLOOD DISEASES Need for five books about special treatment for Negroes in thousands of cases. And patients have had five blood or one cancer or two serious diseases. ES CONGRESS IN HOT HASTE—AFRICAN BLOOD BROTHERHOOD CANNOT JUSTIFY ITSELF of the world, who, through being unable to establish their connection or relationship with any organization or institution, were unable to get help in the fight of that government. The passport was not intended to take the place of the passport required by government. Africa, the American Leader and the two West Indian Leaders, shall be honorary members of the High Executive Council. The Leaders of the West Indies present for the approval of the High Executive Council a budget for their particular field, taking into consideration local economic and other Dr. McGuire's Resignation Accepted The case of the chaplain-general was next decided. Dr. McGuire said there was no necessity to bring any charge of dual service against him, as he had already stated in his department report his connection with the Independent Episcopal Church African Redemption Fund That the parent body shall raise a universal fund from all Negroes for the purpose of the redemption of the Negroes, and even the members of the Negro race shall be asked to contribute a sum of not less than five dollars to this fund. This shall not be a tax on active members, but a volume of income. The Negroes fund shall be known as the "African Redemption Fund." Each and every person who subscribes to the certificate of loyalty to the cause of Africa. The certificate shall bear the signatures of the President-General and the High Chancellor. The certificate of African Redemption Fund shall be to create a working capital for the building up of Africa. Veto Power for Administrator That the administrator of the Universal Negro Improvement Council may veto power on all and any financial measures initiated by any individual or by the Executive Council that may tend to or ruin the finance of the organization. Such veto power shall only be used by the administration in financial matters. In the case of a financial amendment, he is convinced it is not to the best interest of the organization to permit the carrying out of such financial matters. An appeal may be made to the convention against the veto of the administrator on any measure, and he will be required to give his best convention for his exercise of his judgment on the matter. This resolution provoked considerable discussion. Members of the Executive Council opposed on the ground that the counsel of the many was better than that of a single individual. It would cripple the hands of the Executive Council, whose members would be mere figureheads. Delegates from the floor of the house also opposed the measure for the same reasons, and introduced amendments to the effect that the veto of the executive council by the unanimous vote or a two-thirds majority vote of the Executive Council. Both amendments were defeated, the original resolution being carried with only 24 dissentents. The Issuance of Charters The following resolutions for the granting of charters were adopted: That on application for a charter by any seven persons in a State where the charterion in good standing with the parent body, that chartered division be referred to for information regarding the applicant charterion can be asked to aid applicants. That the following paragraphs be added to Article E. Section 4, of the charterion in the same cities be under the succession of the former chartered division and be designated to charterers instead of divisionaries that may be issued or granted by the parent body, thereby authorizing only one chartered division in the same city The following resolutions requiring the registration of charters there shall be issued one dominion, provincial or colonial charter, as the law may require. The charterion in divisions within the charter limits shall be designated as chapters. Nothing in this provision shall be construed against any jurisdiction over the others. EIGHTEENTH DAY Ministry of Industries and Labor On Tuesday, the 23d inst., the convention dealt with the resolutions of which notice had been given by delegate. Questions were also answered. The following resolutions were carried: Hon W O Smyer (Detroit, Mich): 1. That the High Executive Council of the U N I A. co-operate with local divisions in starting industrial activities for the purpose of furnishing work for the Army. 2. That a Minister of Industries and Labor be added to the High Executive Council of the U N I A. Johnson (New York): That the Bureau of Publicity and Propaganda be an attachment to the Institute of Propaganda to be established. The above measure was brought before the House in the form of an ordinance passed by Hon H. V. Plummer (New York), that such a bureau be created with a director. H. D. Horton (West Africa): That one or two native Africans be elected to the Field Corps of the Western Hemisphere so that they may be able to do the people the conditions in Africa.

That the Leaders of the West African Leaders and the High Executive Council a budget for the proper execution of their work in their particular field, taking into consideration local economic and other conditions. 8. That Commissioners serving in the West Indies forward monthly reports to the parent body. A resolution presented by the Hon. G. R. Weston, Boston, Masa, recommending that the convention take steps towards the unification of the race under one great faith was rejected, it being the unanimous opinion that the present time was inopportune. American Leader's Report During the afternoon session His Excellency, the American Leader, Dr J W H. Eason, gave his departmental report. He referred at the outset to the fact that the administration had found it impossible during the year under review to establish the official residence and office of the American Leader in Washington. The year had therefore been spent in carrying out the orders of the administrator and of the Executive Council and in studying world conditions and in applying them to the conditions confronting Negroes in this country. Dr. Eason then proceeded to give a detailed account of his work in this country and Canada, where he had disputed, organized successfully and promoted the welfare of the movement for greater respect for those authority and recommended that a school of diplomats be established, and that an embassy be established at once in Washington. In regard to the latter recommendation, he promised that he would raise money sufficient to defray all the expenses. NINETEENTH DAY disappearance of Dr. Brooks Wednesday, August 24, with the exception of a brief period spent in discussion of some more resolutions which stood in the names of delegates, was devoted to the investigating charges against the secretary Dr. J. D. Brooks, and also a charge of dual service preferred against the chaplain- general Dr. G. A. McQuire. The charges against the secretary- general were: (1) incompetence, (2) violating the Constitution. They were preferred by Hon. R. Smith, New York, who initiated the discussion by moving that the office of the secretary-general be declared vacant. The president-general said prior to his departure from the United States the secretary-general was sent out on an itinerary and did not report to the parent body for four months. He wrote Dr. Brooks, requesting that he report back at New York, but he failed to do so. He reported that he was told by the Executive Council and was told by the Executive Council not to return to the field, but nevertheless did so. Monies collected by him had not been properly returned to the parent body. Nothing had been heard of him since July 1. He was under a bond for $5,000. The auditor-general said, as far as could be ascertained, a sum in the vicinity of $1,000 was due by the secretary-general to the parent body. In addition to various collections donations etc. Several delegates spoke, testifying to unbecoming conduct on the part of Dr Brooks and giving evidence which supported the statement of the auditor-general as to there being defalcations in the accounts of Dr Brooks. When the delegates had finished their recitals the Hon. R. Smith asked permission to substitute the following motion. That the office of the Rt. Hon. Secretary General, Dr. J. D. Brooks, be declared vacant because of malfeasance and failure to account for money collected by him for this organization. The motion was carried, there being only one dissentent. DR Most S My Succ in part to the carr animation in every a 100 of died My Success in part to due to the careful examination I make by the uterine and by the uterine diagnostic applionation After which I will tell you can be curved. MEN Before the motion was put to a vote the president-general, in a stirring address, paid a warm tribute to the ability and excellence of the service of the chapplain-general. He declared, however, that a principle was involved, the principle requiring officers of the U. N. I. A. to give their undivided time and attention to their duty. He ended with a moving appeal to the chapplain-general to decide to give his services to the alleviation of the sufferings of the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world. Dr. McGuire deeply moved, replied that he, too, found that a principle was involved. He was unable to turn aside from his ministerial work in his chosen field. His desire was to serve the U. N. A. of the Negroes in the Negro Church, which he had founded. The destiny of the two institutions was the same—the salvation of the Negro. If he were not permitted to serve both at one and the same time, he would at leastpledge unnailied support to the cause of Garveyism. Whatever services the president-general required of him he would give, as far as it lay in his power. The resolution was then put to a vote and carried, the voting being in the proportion of 3 to 1. Dr. McGuire was then made honorary chaplain-general of the organization by unanimous vote of the house. TWENTIETH DAY Charges Against Executive Officers On Thursday, the 25th inst., the cases of several other officers of the Executive Council were dealt with. Dr. P W Ellegor, high commissioner general, was charged with duality of service. Dr. Ellegor explained that he held a small charge, a mission with about thirty-five members, and that his ministerial work there did not interfere with the faithful performance of his duties. He was only technically guilty of the charge. The president-general stated that Dr. Ellegor was a very capable officer, one who had been a decided asset to the organization, but a principle, the same as in the case of the chaplain-general, was involved. The house having found that the high commissioner-general had functioned in a dual capacity, the president-general called upon Dr. Ellegor to state which position he would relinquish. Dr. Ellegor replied that he would not surrender his charge. The president-general remarked that that amounted to a resignation. Dr. McGuire's Resignation Accepted The case of the chaplain-general was next dealt with. Dr. McGuire said there was no necessity to bring any charge of dual service against him, as he had already stated in his department report his connection with the Independent Episcopal Church and had made known his attitude. Further, that upon the ground that he would not in the ensuing year be able to give his entire time to the work of the association he had tendered his resignation. It will be remembered that when Dr. McGuire tendered his resignation to the convention a few days ago it was tabled by the unanimous vote of the house. The resignation was then taken up for discussion. Several questions were asked by Hon. A. Taylor (New York), directed at the eliciting of information on the subject of Dr. McGuire's efforts in behalf of the Independent Episcopal Church on his recent visit to Cuba. Hon. E. V. Morales stated, in answer to Hon. Torel's questions, that, as far as he could see, the Independent Episcopal Church services held by Dr. McGuire did not conflict with the meetings of the association nor did the interests of the latter suffer in any way. Dr. McGuire had explicitly stated to the people that the I. E. Church bore no relationship to the U. N. I. A. A Principle Involved TWENTIETH DAY Elephantic Examination is necessary in order to establish the presence of Micro- Dr. Ellegor disagreed with this finding, and it was eventually decided that he be given twenty-four hours to place his decision before the house. In reference to His Excellency the West Indian Leader (Eastern Province), Rev. R. H. Tohbit, against whom it will be remembered, it was charged successfully that he had been guilty of duality of service, and had been a liability rather than an asset to the organization, it was agreed that he be employed in the office of the parent body on work commensurate with his ability at a salary not exceeding $2,000 a year. The office of the West Indian Leader was then declared vacant. Dr. J. G. Gordon, was also charged with duality of service. He intimated his desire to adhere to his ministerial duties and his unwillingness to continue in the position of assistant president-general. The office was then declared vacant, it being, however, agreed that Dr. Gordon be given such work to perform in the interests of the organization as will not interfere with his religious duties. It was also decided that the office of chaplain-general be left vacant for the ensuing year. Nominations The following nominations for offices were then received: Assistant President-General: Hona J. R. L. Diggs (Baltimore), W. A. Wallace (Chicago), C. H. Duvall (Boston), N. D. Thompson (Los Angeles), H. A. Collins (Banes, Cuba), and W. M. Furry (New York). Assistant Secretary: Hona F. A.

Morales (Cuba), Adrian Johnson (New York), Arden Bryan (Barbados), H. A. Collins (Banca, Cuba), R. Smith (New York), Dr. Lionel Francis (Philadelphia), E. C. West (Columbus), and C. S.

Smyer (Detroit), W. A. Wallace (Chicago), C. A. Stewart (Boston), G. E. Carter (Miami), and George Tatfe (Preston, Cuba). TWENTY-FIRST DAY When business was resumed on Friday, the 28th inst. Hon. Dr. F. W. Ellegor signified that he had decided to relinquish the position he held in his church and asked for a reasonable time to do so. It was unanimously agreed that this be determined by the President-General. On the recommendation of the President-General, the office of an Honorary Provisional Vice-President of Africa was created. The following were then nominated to all the office: Hon. W. H. Ferris, Hon. T. J. Carr, Hon. E. V Mortles, Hon. N. J. Francis and Hon. J. C. Gill. The affairs of the Black Star Lino Steamship Corporation were then discharged. Hon. Marcus Garvey gave a comprehensive survey of the operations of the corporation, referring to the difficulties encountered—the long battles fought to preserve the life of the concern, the acts of disloyalty of the various crews employed and the facts leading up to the purchase of the "Frederick Dullass." Mr. O. M. Thompson, vice-president of the Black Star Line, corroborated the statements of the president, dating back to the time he was elected to office, and outlined the difficulties and disappointments in the contracts made in connection with the "Thrillie Wheaty." He, however, expected delivery of the ship by Thursday, September 1. My treatment is different from others. I have had the treatment now we have taken or own you you have and see me and have a through hole. Nominations The memorial K-Key receives many admirers of bishop disease. P. R. D. K-Key examinators to all who had them. When business was required, after the luncheon recess, the discussion of the Black Star Line, Inc. had continued, several recommendations being forthcoming from designers. The Hon. Marcus Garvey made a strong plea to the representatives of divisions to place the situation clearly before their members on their return, and emphasized that the real need of the corporation was capital. If the capital were subscribed, all the difficulties would disappear and not one, but several ships would be immediately procured. He also announced the intention of the directors to operate the ship under the Liberian flag. Bolchevism in Flight There was some excitement during the afternoon session when a delegate from the African Blood Brotherhood left the House in haste. The Negro Congress Bulletin, published by the African Blood Brotherhood, devoted almost the entire space of its issue of the 4th inst. to a fantastic misrepresentation of the work accomplished by the second international convention or Negroes. A member drew the attention of the House to the scourious pamphlet and moved that the representatives of the A. B. B. four in number, who had been in attendance at the previous sessions, be required to give an explanation. Their names were called and no one responded. An examination of delegates' cards was about to be made, when a man was seen to ride hastily and scurry across the hall plunge through the doorway, beating his way in precipitate flight towards Seventh avenue. The erstwhile indignant House rocked with laughter. The Hon. Marus Garvey then warned the House not to be misled as to the nature of the policy of the African Blood Brotherhood. Through its organ, the Crusader Magazine, he said, it pretended to have at heart the interests of Negroes. It was in replay the advocate of Sovietism, Bolotovism and Radicalism, the paid servant of certain destructive white elements which aimed at exploiting Negroes for their own subservient ends. Finding that the Negro government Association held nothing in common, it had set itself to discredit the work of this organization. It was unanimously agreed that the delegates' cards of the four representatives be withdrawn. On Friday night the election of offi cors took place. The newly created office of second assistant secretary general was first 1850, and U.S. vice president, elected. Bryce presided of election committee. Wins election, Hon. N. K. Harrison (Detroit), the vice president. Dent-General, and Hon. W. C. Clement (Pittsburgh). The votes were on the second ballot, by a majority of Hon. W. E. Fullfellow to cast the election. For Secretary-General, leaving four, postmaster, Hon. Prid. A. Toots headed the poll, detesting Hon. J. E. Bruce, the President- era nominee, by 29 votes. The selection of a Minister of in- distries and Labor provided the closest contest of the evening. Hon. J. H. L. Diggs (Baltimore), withdraws, having nine contestants. On the second ballot, Hon. U. S. Foston (Detroit), the nominee of the President-General, detested Prof. W. M. Harris by three votes. Hon. Dr. J. J. Gilson secured the position of Surgical General, enclu- defending Dr. W. S. Hannah, of Fau- ndebala. AFRICA DEDEEMED Lead eight, so in a vision, I behold a distant land, Strange fruits and flowers abounded, And punkish sand.

That God might hear the praise Tell them ever to love Old Glory. But never the Southern Queen. That my heart throbs warm with Garvey's. For the Red the Black and Green. Often hope tells me a story That I yet shall clasp the hand Of the African son and daughter. Where the heart and clime is grand. Count me as one of your color. I am lowly, simply speak— Pride and pomp would never miss me. For such virtues they deem weak. Bear my眼泪 to Egypt's daughter. Could I send a feeting dove. Over the ocean with a message. It would never love. ETHEL TREW DUNLAP 3223 Wentworth avenue, Chicago, IL LINES TO J. HUNTER If I have cheered the weary slave Then let me go to rest, When dreamless slumber scans my eyes— My head on captive's breast. For, by the light of lickering stars, I crozed the deep abyss Of prejudice—on ducky brow To press constriction's kiss. Ah! happy days have come and gone For Ephraim and I. Since we chapped hands in fancy's realm Beneath a love-lit sky. Where white classic G鸿 flows. We've breathed the air of Paradizs. Perfumed with Sharon's rose; And drilled in the twilight's hour Where Eve and Adam plied The oars when Paradizs was blest, When soft flowed G鸿's tide. Where there is never captor save The breeze that charns charms Away from Paradizs to full To dream in Ephraim's arms; Nor captor save the star that hold Our souls enthralled all night. With the dawn turns dark blue waves When when comes at twilight hour, Then Ephraim and I Row where the white cures never marrs Fair Ephraim's sky. We cast our wished away Upon that ancient stream That claips to its impassioned breast Rare land of poet's dream. No captor there disturbs our rest— No wind sighs captive woe. No ripples, frusts like waves disturbed Where winds from white reels blow. In historic land where God hikes His captive's skies. When worms owe, O ducky son, With thee I'll gladly fly.

CONTEMPORAR OUR RACE LEADERS Our much-harassed race leaders, who this time last year were piling with all their might in advocacy of the Republican cause before the voting public, ought to find in President Harding's recent statements a great opportunity to come forth and demonstrate to the ranks their real ability and value as leaders. The President is reported to have said that "he would appoint no colored man to an office in the South." Five months of the President's administration has past and the record proves that this announcement is truly the policy of the present administration. Not a single Presidential appointment has been confirmed by the Senate. Only one has been confirmed by Henry L. Johnson for Record of Deeds for the District of Columbia, and it has not been confirmed. He also said: "It seems to me that the colored man of the South has his only opportunity by falling in the ranks behind the white leaders of the South." The race has been insulted when it is told to "kill in the ranks behind Southern white leadership." Where is there a self-respecting Negro that wants to follow the leadership of Bassam Stump of Virginia. Frank A. Linger of North Carolina, Clark Grier of Georgia and Henry A. Parker of Louisiana? Therefore, we are putting it up to the old school Negro leaders to deliver or forever get down and out. Linda Johnson, a former president of so much through Harding's administration, but when a young lady want to him in April to see about being placed in a position in the postal department to which she had received an appointment, but was turned down when they found that she was colored, told her that it would be three months before he could do anything for her. That is an example of his ability to do "great things" for the race. Judge Terrell has had his day and done nothing. Perry Howard, the accepted law firm Mississippi, has accepted a jim-crow job and his mouth is closed. Have you heard from him that he was a lawyer? We read P. R. Moore of the New York Age, Wm H. Lewis, xo-Ast. Attorney General; Bishop W. T. Vernon, ex-registrar of the Treasury; Charles W. Anderson, Gilchrist Stewart and Whitfield McKinley, all of whom havepeed and are posing as great political leaders. They are after more jobs, pork and patronage far more than to render real, telling service to the race. Any man that will accept a jim-crow job under a "Lily White" Republican administration has little self-respect and no racial consciousness whatever. In addition to those already named there are other lesser lights over the country who are trying to make the local people believe that they away much political power and influence. Among them are Martin Jacques, Owen DePriest of College, George W. Harris of New York, Amos Scott and R. B. Wright of Philadelphia, Harry Smith and Thomas Fleming of Cleveland, R. B. Pollard and John Mitchell of Richmond, Va.; our own James W. Cobb and Walter Cohen of New Orleans. What will these "leaders" do to re- sent this expressed "Lily While" policy amended by the head of the G. O. P.? The 15,000,000 colored people in this country are crying for painf and delicuance. What leader or leaders will sally forth with the courage of a Douglas in the defense of their race? If these "leaders" have independent conservation, now in the time, to express them. If they have a plan, now is the time to advance if they have the numbers of their conviction, now is the time to demonstrate it and, they will find the people with them and ready to tune up for it they poll to accomplish their davantage. This would constitute itself an American citizen of the first water WEST POINT, Misa, Aug. 12. There seems to be a general movement on foot on the part of some organization to dispose of all Negro frames, porters and naggers on trains operated by the railroad. The nearest correspondent came into possession of the following notice sent out by those people: To Burton Blanks, Fireman M. & O. Railroad: "This is to advise you that we will give you until the first of September to hunt you another job. We have organised for the purpose of removing the Negro from the railroad job, and we expect to do it if we have to get on your train at some water tank or other place and shoot you down like rabbits. We understand that you are the leader of the Negro firemen, so we want you to tell the rest of the Negro firemen and porters that we intend to kill everyone that goes out on a train after Step 11 we expect to kill you and Do Step 12 and Porter Sila Area (Bigned) Tuesday night the passenger was shot just south of here about 25 miles. On account of this incident and the warning sent out to the Negroes on the Mobile & Ohio Railroad, the authorities are expecting a great deal of trouble and are taking the necessary steps to meet the issue. As such he is determined to have the ballot, for he realizes that many of theills under which he suffers can be remedied with the power of the ballot, and he is determined to have it or know the reason why. He considers there is no just, honorable nor Constitutional reason why he should not exercise this God-given right. The Negro's fight in the South for the ballot is going to be carried to his brother in the North, where, in a number of States, they can throw an election by solidifying their vote. If blood is thicker than water, the future elections in these Northern States will be more difficult to handle on a common enemy for the common good of the race. This policy of the present Administration must not go unchallenged nor without resentment. There is a long fight ahead of the Negro to secure his political and civil rights in this country. It will take at least twenty years to build up an organization to successfully overthrow the harmful influence that the Republican party exerts over the Negro. All of the above named leaders will have to pass off the stage and new blood will have to be enlisted. Loyalty is a Republican party has had the Negro. The Republican party has had the Negro. The Lincoln freed the slaves. The Negro of today does not owe the Republican party anything. However, the Republican party is indicted to the Negro and it is very ungrateful to him for his loyalty. The sooner we learn this the better will it be for us. They have betrayed every trust imposed in them. The Republicans are responsible for all the Jim Crow legislation and inhuman treatment that the colored people of this country have suffered. They have betrayed the Negro to this country for the last sixty years. Administrations of Cleveland and Wilson. Forty-four years of Republican rule against sixteen of the Democrats, and these were scattering. Discrimination started under a Republican President. Even the great Rosevelt was President when Oklahoma was admitted into the Union and the first law enacted was that for the separation of the races. Discrimination in the service here in Washington began under the Republican party in complete control. Congress, and not one thing has been done to alleviate the colored people of this country from the many ill they are forced to endure. "Bob" Church, of Memphis, grew tired of the Republican promises and as soon as the National Committee adjourned in June, after cutting down Southern delegates left the Capital disgusted. "Link" Johnson should ask the President to withdraw his name for Recorder Dedee. Perry Howard joined him in calling for Chas Cottrell would gain much by biding adam to the Capital. Such action by these men would speak longer than words and would reound throughout the Republican party, telling Mr. Haya, Mr. Adams al. that the Negro of today does not owe the G. G. P. one single thing, and that he is not going to be made a plaything. Courage, fate has decreed that you should stand, and by and by will find the new Negro with you all over the country. We demand action. Resignations, withdrawals and home-games are in order. Who hits the courage to make the move. The Washington Tribune. F.I.T.S Bottle of This SEND NO MONEY!

No one has yet accused Africa of having malicious or felonious designs upon the lands and property of her neighbors, near or far away. The little tribal wars which aforementioned quite frequent occurrence were not of sufficient importance to require the use of the more modern death-dealing instruments employed by her highly civilized, enlightened and progressive neighbors, and to have employed these weapons, even if it had been possible, against black men would have been out of the question. If Africa is to use them at all, they will be used against white civilians, and to have employed these weapons, must better the instruction and prepare civilized Europe and America to find a more expressive term than frightfulness to describe the workings of an African airplane in action. For Africans have much more to remember and to repay when the day of reckoning will have arrived than perhaps any one of the subject races save India. She is not, however, forcing the coming of that day. She has a genius for waiting, and genius is after all only great patience. she has waited thus far for over a thousand years, and has seen the rise and fall of the ambitious alien who has invaded her abores, seen his bones bleaching on her hot awns, and seen the warmth point on the north. She has witnessed his bold attempts to build cities and to whiten the dark spots in South Africa, where Nature with invulnish hand has transformed them into a veritable Garden of Eden. But these have only been transitory, temporary, illusory and have been blotted out and are become a memory only. The efforts that these unbidden aliens of Europe have made to convert Africa into a white man's country have not been complete successes. They give no assurances of permanency, of stability, because their foundations rested upon shifting sands, and the titles of the white nations who claim ownership to its broad acres are only the thief and robbers right, which they cannot accuse of equity, because of the Africans' prior claim to these acres, granted to them when creation dawned by the King of all the earth, who set meters and bounds to all the nations and races, after the dispersion, and gave to Africans the land called Africa. No matter what Europeans now in possession in certain parts of Africa say or do, they will ultimately have to get out of Africa, either through war or the "noisome pettition that walketh by noonday." Men cannot successfully or for long match their ingenuity against the will and the purpose of the Almighty Power which has fixed the mates and bounds geographically of all races, and of Africa, once distinguished as the land that became Host to the Son of God, when Shem and Japheth caught His life. There is absolutely no justification for the white occupation of Africa—no moral reason, no legal reason—but there is a selfish reason, and it is seen in the development of Rudelsia, the Kimberly diamond and goldline on the south and Lagos on the west of Africa, which white government and land development merely developing for the Africans who are now living in nearly every country of the world in the wisdom of the white man and are taught the significance of Africa to the black man. When moving day comes for the white aquater in Africa and when Ethiopia literally stretches forth her hands unto God white men the world over will have a newer vision of Africa and Africans a broader definition of emmen to tumu. The law of contracts and the rights of the parties to the second part of their fraudulent contracts conenly drawn, craftily executed and dishon- estly registered in the office of Blustra, the King's chamberlain, who has implicitly imagined that he can invade, nullify, make of his effect this pledge and promise of God to the children of Ethiopia, by robbing them of their patriots in the same of his royal master and by axiifying the private seal of the King. Well God Almighty has said through the mouth of the Prophet Isaiah, 18:11: "And I will punish the world for their evil and the child of the earth for their wrong and cause the arrogance of the ground to cease, and I will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible. I will make man more precious than pure gold; even a man than the golden god of Ophir. Therefore I will shake the heavens and the earth shall remove out of her place in the wrath of the Lord in the day of His fierce anger, and it shall be as the chased roe and as a shear that no man taken up. They shall every man turn to his own people and so every man unto his own land." The Almighty has never broken a promise. He never forgets. But men and nations not infrequently forget when they are weltering in power and with prosperity, and then He put on the stop clutch and brings a chariot to a slowdown, and He may put on a tite, and thus stop the commotion and at the time cause concentration or permit his chariot to dash against a wall and break the rider's leg or crush his skull. So that in his moments of ludicity and reflection he will ask himself the world-old question: "What is man that Thou shouldst be mindful of him or the Son of Man?" etc. EDWARD HEIL TO Edward Hell, who has been one of the leading epilites in the colored society known as the U.

CHINSMAN In the good and spacious days of old, when the African aboriginal, the child of nature, was himself and able to call his soul his own, he lived a happy and contented life, despite the fact he sometimes waged little wars against himself These wars were fought not for territorial aggrandishment, but for the express purpose of capturing as many of the enemy he possibly can and sell them into slavery. The captives or slaves as they afterwards became, often escaped and found their way home again those unable to thus free themselves were mansued by their people. The mob safari jacket in their warriors life was not technically wanted as in those of advanced and so-called civilized and Christian nations. It was difficult, if not impossible, for one not in the know to detainling a slave from his surroundings as he worked and drank together with his master and family yeas slept under the same roof and had everything in common with the slave, their slaves and their offsprings in captivity even when raised by their relatives, preferred to stay with their masters, than return home to their kith and kin. We find a striking example of this adaptability to new conditions, but in its worst and most degraded form, in the West Indian and American Negroes who also emancipated would not for instance have been brought through a Muses were sent unto them. Their souls have become so injured to the flesh pora of Egypt and the leaks and onions of a hollow Christianity and a bastard civilization, which laughs to form all morality. So much so are they bewitched by their environment, and the lack of moralive, nor ostracistic, nor economic pressure in its interest form, nor inequal opportunities, neither political thrallum could direct their thoughts and their footsteps to the rock whence they were hewn and the hole of the pit they were dug. It is a and commentary of the human condition, the bood of a people emancipated, of which the whole gamut of history has not afforded us a parallel. clisty, founder of the Republic. It will be seen that she was launched under very favorable conditions; money, brains, moral and spiritual influences were not lacking at her birth and long after, and yet has not advanced in any way commensurate with her advan- tage. She was born in the hundredth year among the comity of nations and with difficulty exists from hand to mouth. A precarious condition, indeed, for a free, sovereign and independent State to live. The reason for this apparent failure, this palpable weakness on the part of Liberia, lies in the fact that the manners, customs and idiosyncrasies of the people of Liberia are the same and of South Carolina. We wish their destructive and debilitating influences were dumped wholesale on African soil. The motherland would not swallow tamely so incongruous a portion, however sweetly favored. As fast it was administered as fast it was aped, and shell and skin thick and bumpy, around the body of the native became partially submissive to the new order of things, but at great moral and pecuniary loss to the little community of, as they called themselves, Afro-Americans; who, ignorant of the principles and ethics of government, tried to rule the people on methods they themselves imperfectly understood or had no definite knowl- ledge of, and to oppose the reign supremed, and to make worse worst, looked down with contempt upon the natives. Instead of turning their eyes interiorwards, they gasped intently across the Atlantic with feverish anxiety. The smell of the leeks and onions of their house of bondage still oligures upon them. The flesh pots of Egypt, which God commanded the Israelites to forget in their exodus, and which they were punished forty years in the wilderness, still lingers in their memory. They would not ally themselves by marrying and inter-marrying with the native and thus like kindred drops of water coalesce and form one strong and powerful nation, thereby fulfilling the role of her mission. Instead of dying out, as they are today, would be more vigorous and prosperous part and parcel of the parent stock. There would have been no native in contradiction to the governing class, but all Liberiana. She has not as yet the vision to "discern, unseen before the path to higher destiny." Hence it is, she is always in a state of suspended animation which not infrequently incapacitates her to reach her neighbors, England and France, seeing her helpless condition, sliced respectively large portions of her territory. "To be weak is to be miserable, doing or suffering." It is not so much money that Liberia stands in need of today as a leader who will direct her thriftless and shiftless sons the way of righteousness. "Righteousness alone exalteth a nation." If Liberia was not oblivious to the teachings of history, that of the Jews in particular, who when planted in the land of Canaan, though numerically the smaller, absorbed the Canaanites the greater. For this suicidal and short-lived nature, though numerically the hearty, she has surely missed the mark of her high calling—on the other hand, we heartily commend her, however, for having kept vigilant sentinel many, many years over our undeveloped estate at great sacrifice of weary gays and sleepless nights of hunger and plowing from the greedy and grampus of the land, the question comes again with more emphasis. Will Garveyism succeed politically in West Africa? I answer with all my heart and with all my soul—Yes'-despite whatever the Nations' Association for the Advantage of Concerted People, of which Dr. Dubois is the high priest (N. A. A. C. P.), of which I am a member of the treasury. It is not a new doctrine the Honorable Mr. Garvey is promulgating. it is as old, if not older, than the Republic of Liberia. The American Colonization Society preached it in the distant, past and Liberia, which was not cat, came into being, in process of time it became the republic-organized nation, the American Colonization nations. It is the soul and spirit of that long defunct association which is incarnated in Mr. Garvey; having succeeded politically in the past, it will continue still to do so. Liberia should wake up in line, shake dull soll, and fall in line, whole-heartedly, with Garveyism, whose views and aims are the same as those of the American Colonization Society, founder and benefactor of the Republic. As mistress in her own house she can settle the question of flag the best way possible. She must do well by the conditions of her life—and for the assimilation of whose conditions she was founded. The spirits and souls of the Great Dead of African Redemption are infused in Garvey, therefore the patriotic Negroes of the United States live every clime like anxiously upon the Republic of Liberia for her moral, political and spiritual support in the Great Cause which eventually will resuscitate her and compose her health, and compensate her. Republi Will Garveyism succeed commercially in West Africa? I answer most unreservedly it will, and that beyond the dream of a warrior. In the black Heat of America it is unbelievable that unbelievable will be held up in the bosom of Mother Earth, awaiting the key of knowledge of her children to unlock and take possession of her vegetable resources: are enormous; with a virgin and fertile soil that can grow tropical and subtropical plants; can grow crops that are nutritious; can now sell our children of these amniotes; of money and brains nurture the Atlantic to conceive and be beautifully designed. Those coming out to the motherhood, to undertake the work of development and construct/strate by the Chancellor General of any competent individual within the M. R. A. may elect on the history of the endings of the Jews and adapt or compart themselves accordingly, with a little variation. The flesh pots of Egypt the small: of the looks and onions the gods of their tank masters—Akhia lots and Gustris—and the weight of the skin which doth so easily beat the sea and left behind for good. The skin come with a clean slate on which nothing whatever is scowled. The motherland requires not the grumbler and the loafer, nor the apostat and scorner, but men who will be useful and helpful to her, capable of making two blades of grass grow where one or none grows now; men with fancy education can stay where they are, men of vision and forewight, who can see and protect themselves with sympathetic mind towards male and sympathetic brothers will be welcomed. Besides her positive and potential wealth Africa has many things to teach the world for the benefit of suffering humanity and which unto this day has baffled the scientific world with all its boasted knowledge and ingenious appliances. She can cure compound fracture within six weeks at altumst which science cannot do without the affection it provides its owner to the grave; strangulated hair reduced in no time; and tuberculosis cured; to name but a few versed also in the treatment of female ailments. The world needs these things badly. A school should be established for the study of African therapeutics-Garveyism should include in its program the study of Native Life and Customs, also Vai charismatic destroyed or discouraged of the native as superstitious by anyone coming out to the motherland. Among the things we will ask to be left behind as inapplicable to the African is Bishop Haber's egotistical hymn: "From Greenland's Icy Mountains to the Amazonian tundra." Neither the Greenlanders—white—nor the Hindu—yellow—calls the Negro physically or spiritually to deliver his land from error's chain. Garveyism, if anything, is practical. Ethal—that sweet singer—I mean our dear Ethel (Drew) Dunlap—should be commissioned to suit Negro alms and aspirations. J H. CHINSMAN. Sierra Leone, West Africa. COLUMBIA PROFESSOR SAYS MENTALITY OF AVERAGE AMERICAN CITIZEN ABOUT THAT OF YOUTHS OF THIRTEEN Expert in Psychology Advice Advertisers Appeal to That Grade of Intelligence ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Aug. 19. The intelligence of the average white American citizen, as proven by the United States army tests during the world war, is equal to that of a child American citizen, as proven by the standard of intelligence that advertisers must appeal if they are to attain success in their publicity campaign, said Dr. Albert Feppenberger, professor of psychology at Columbia University, during an address today before mammalian representatives to the finding power of the average white American citizen," said Professor Feppenberger, "reads and understands the simplest kind of English, and that is all. Success in advertising as regards all grades of intelligence depends far more in the ability to impulse in the motives of consumers than to their thinking or reasoning." In fact," continued the professor, "hold with the philosopher of many years ago that an animal never thinks about the sentiments which govern human behavior and to which the advertiser to be successful must appeal are family affection, self-protection, sex interest, competition, pride, self-assertion, the gathering of money and property and sociability. "Some one has said that psychology first lost the soul, then the mind and is now losing consciousness. That in a measure is true. Psychology is now so widely interested in human behavior, that it is the co-operation of the co-operation of the psychologist in his efforts to control human behavior. "Psychology has shown beyond all doubt that the behavior of people is subject to the laws of cause and effect. Psychology has unchangable as the laws governing machinery or the laws governing the movements of planets. "The behavior of people is subject to rules and regulations, and if you know and apply them, you can regulate human behavior as regards your product."

The reverence suffered by the Spanish column in the recklessness of the generals in operating too far from their bases" says the Madrid correspondent of the London Times, who in a lengthy dispatch gives what is designated as the "first full account of the Spanish disaster in Morocco and its aftermath" the disaster at Malta, declares the correspondent to be far-reaching in its consequences that it is as yet impossible to estimate its effect. "But," he adds, "it is such that it might ultimately discourage those who are not prepared to colonize nation. Yet its effect may be to bruce the nation to make necessary retrenchment and economic sacrifices at home in order to continue the campaign, which must be both long and costly." The correspondent asserts that some 10,000 Spanish must be considered dead, as "airplane observers have reported the roads littered with bodies." "The wholesale killings, such as occurred at Zetulan and Sildirna, and to a part of Colonel Arajati's column at Zetulan, are the count for the large numbers of dead," says the correspondent, "and the bare hills and ravines must have been the scenes of many tragic murders of fugitives." Reports that the Spanish forces today are hounded in around Melilla and that the Bani Sicar tribe on the neck of the peninsula of Tres Forcas, north of Melilla, is showing restlessness. Should this tribe revolt, he declares, Melilla would be surrounded except from the sea, according to the correspondent, an active campaign is impossible. He says the troops are not ready and that consideration of what might happen to the 6,000 prisoners held by the tribe among whom are children and children from mines and farms must be the "unpreme consideration." ARTHUR BRISBANE It is astonishing to see how science, religion and government will bow to a popular prejudice. Great popular prejudice is the rock on which the religious and government must uncompromisitely logical minds go to pieces. Thus we find that in the case of the great color-question in the United States all laws null—the laws of Nature of Man and of God—are in conflict with the laws of logic—and even the law of common sense. An American will say: "Such-and-such a truth is universal among men," and then he will think of American Colored folk and say: "They all are born free and equal but . . . "It is better that ten gully men should escape rather than that one innocent man should suffer, except . . . " The finest recent case, the most outrageous example of this is Arthur Brishane, whose mind he had thought, would follow logic and necessary ELEM, even if they lead "unit of the window." But look a-here. In an editorial of the Heart paper, Mr. Brishane spoke of the fact that some American Soldiers have brought German or "enemy" wives home, and that some 100-per centers are criticizing these soldiers. And that Mr. Brishane has logical and historical criticism "Don't criticize, rather praise. Intermarriage between races based on war and conquest have given us the mixed breeds that are the good progressive breeds among human beings. Three thousand years ago the most mixed of all races was the Greek race. From these races came the people that include Greece the greatest nation." He then goes on and cities Italy, France, England and Japan as great results of the mongrelizations of man, stating that the United States of America has finally "bombed up as the rock and fissured and went down like a ship when it hits an implable iceberg. After running the whole gamut of interracial histories and proving his ability to win densely winds up in Mississippi, as it were) without history, without facts, and with a generalized and unsupported EXCEPTION: "A thoroughbred horse and a mongrel (mixed) man make the best horse and the best man. But with the human side, the horse is a BREED, you must not mix the color—that doesn't work." What a fall was there. His logic scared to the sky, and then fell back like a faulty rocket, into the earthy cotton patches of Georgia. Notice that he did not wear a shirt or the color. "he does not say you CANNOT or that it HAS NOT BEEN DONE ever since the beginning of history. He offers neither reason nor history for his exception, but winds up with a statement that he is coming an AMERICAN WHITE MAN. Prejudice and Logic cannot dwell together.

KU KLUX WIZARD IS INVADING NORTH Simmons, in Chicago Interview, Denies Klan Has Hand in Tar By BARL L SHAUD GHIKAGO, Ang. 17.—The preservation of white supremacy is the object of the Ku Klux Klan. It was set forth by Col. Wm. J. Simmons, imperial wizard, in an interview here. The domination of the Anglo-Saxon race, the product of a half million years of culture, is ordained by God, according to the ritual of the Klan. Col. Simmons emphatically denied that the Klan is in any way responsible for the tarring and feathering of any person. "We do not countenance law violence of any kind," he said. "For a number of the organization to break a law is itself its own. Anyone who comes into the organization knows that lawlessness by its members is impossible. Every candidate swears that he will be law abiding." Reaching the wizard is not easy. A visitor must first state his business to a goulch. He is then taken before a goblin. Next he meets a cryoplast. Finally he may interview the wizard himself. Col Simmons came to Chicago from his headquarters in Atlanta to attend the initiation of 8,718 Chicagoans. The ceremony was held on a farm near this city and was attended by 8,000 members. "Our object is to create solidarity, to weld a national consciousness and make Stars and Stripes supreme forever." Col Simmons said in his interview. "We are anti-nothing. Our members must be native born, Gentile citizens. We exclude Jews because they do not believe in the Christian religion. We exclude Catholics because they owe allegiance to an institution that is foreign to the government of the United States. Any native-born American who is a member of the English church or any other foreign church is barred. The supremacy of the white race we believe in the exclusion of the yellow races and in the disfurishment of the Negroes. It was God's aid to make the white race superior to all others. "By some scheme of providence the Negro was created as a sert. He has developed no civilization of his own, he has never created anything or originated anything, and we deny that he is as good as a white man. "We believe in the proper function of the races, each in his own place. We draw the color line just as God does. "The colored races of the world, the yellow, brown and black, now are trying to effect a world combination to overthrow the whites and rule in their stand, and it is the emperor of Japan who is back of this movement. These races outnumber us nine to one and if they attained the upper hand would swamp us. "That is what the Ku Klux Klan is fighting. We harbor no race prejudices. The Negro never had and hasn't today a better friend than the Ku Klux Klan. The law abiding Negro who knows his place has nothing to fear from us." "Denying that the organization has participated in any tar and feather outrage he said: "Our brotherhood is not synonymous with blood and thunder. Our name has been associated with terrorism and tar and feather parties, but we have nothing to do with violence. We are sworn to uphold the Constitution of the United States. "In every community we have picked men who have volunteered for emergency duty. But they do not take the law into their own hands. They do no riding at night in their ghostly costumes. They are properly sworn in as deputy sheriff, and in that capacity take charge of a situation. "We do not act until called upon, but if needed we have a great invisible and mysterious force that will strike terror into the hearts of law breakers." He added that the Klan is pledged to protect the sanctity of the home and the honor of woman, and to keep separate the church and the state. He also said the Klan opposes blue laws. He predicted that the organization will be stronger in the North in thirty days than it is in the South and said it is gaining members at the rate of 1,000 a day—N. O. Daily States. "THE SWORD OF NEMESIS" A Review by H. Y. PUTTON A splendid book of fiction came into my hands this week. It is a work by R. Archer Tracy entitled "The Sword of Nesemia."

INDIAN SYRUP interesting reading to those who are interested in the problem of "shades" as affecting the West Indies—a problem quite like the American problem of colon, the difference being that in America, except in isolated cases, the prejudice proceeds from a difference of race, while in the West Indies the malatties aggregate unto themselves superiority over the blacks in proportion that white blood affects the plight of their skin. In America white men hate colored men; in the West Indies, according to Mr. Travey's book, light colored men spurn those of a darker hue. But the chief value of Mr. Trayny book, "The Sword of Nemesis," is not its use as a propagandist. In fact, it is apparent that propaganda was the least consideration in the mind of the author when he gave us this interesting book. Mr. Trayny's purpose was to tell us a story, which he does admire well. It just happens that the hero of the story is a Negro and that other characters are orcannons, whites, etc. Had he wished to make the hero of his story a member of another race and all the other characters in it persons of a different race, the effect would be even more dramatic, as the hero is an entertaining story, with all of the characteristics of love, heroism and adventure, sema to have been the author's aim rather than the championing of one raid or shade over the other or the treating of races or shades at all. It so happens, however, in treating the subject that certain racial characteristics are brought to the front with a decided advantage accruing to the Negro. Choosing, as he did, his characters and using the West Indies as the place to develop his story, the author let us in certain social conditions in the West Indies which make movements like the Garvey Movement highly necessary—necessary in that the white world everywhere seems bent on seeing that the Negro of purely African descent is assigned to a place of high resumption of the book, "The Bword of Nemesis," would here be in order. The hero of the story is Carl Woodhouse, a young Negro whose father was killed by George McIntyre, cousin, who contrived to come into possession of his wealth when Carl was but a child. Not content with killing the father, McIntyre to kill the child and his mother, Edith Woodhouse, in order that his title to the property would be clear. He employed two ruffians to do the job, who took Carl and his mother out in midseason, where Carl was thrown overboard, and his mother was set adrift in a skiff, the villain not having the nerve to drown her after hearing her plea. But it so happened that both the boy and his mother were mysteriously rescued and carried to different parts of the world, neither knowing of the fate of the other. In Trinidad, where Carl was carried, he grew up to manhood and after a varied experience secured an education, and became a teacher in one of the districts. While in college he met a beautiful octoonor girl, Mary Highfield, daughter of a wealthy planter, and had grown up between the two unmistakable love. But John Highfield, father of the girl, was not willing for his octoonor daughter to marry a man as dark as Carl, and the obstacles he placed in their way were many. As a last resort, he ordered his daughter to leave his house, which, rather than renounce her love for Carl, she did. Cari when rescued from the sea as a child suffered a mental shock which necessitated an operation. His condition following his rescue was such that he had lost all connection with his past history and, consequently, knew nothing of the queer circumstances which brought him to Trinidad, and not having seen his mother since the fatful night on the ocean, he could say nothing of her. But as time wore on this mother, who had been indented for murder, he had been one of the islands escaped from her country, and found her way to Trinidad, where she had hoped to better her condition. Her surprise was great when she found her son, whom she thought dead, living with a friend of the past who was not aware of the fact that the boy was her son or that she herself yet lived. When Carl was told of his history he made up his mind to punish the murders of his father and once more to come into possession of the estate which was stolen from him. Here Mr. Tracy, the author of the novel, shows real skill as he draws up in proper succession the events which result in the killing of punishment for the criminals and the fitting lethrum of the through his great vipory breaks through the thin gauge of shade prejudice and wins the consent of an obdurate father to let him marry his daughter. The story is well told and the moral goes home to the heart. Mr. Tracy has If you have Bishop, Vita and you want to help me for my PNB final successfully 28 years. Give me a chance. GIVE ME A GIVE ME A GIVE ME BUNNY Hampion, Vv., Aug. 11. The recent plot in Tulsa, the reported activities of the Ku Klux Klan, and the dischievement concerning Negro pensions, give time-lines to the creation of a Commission on Negro churches and Race Relations by the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America. The purpose of this action is to compelate the influence of the churches in bringing about better relations between the white and the colored races. The first meeting of the new Commission was recently held in Washington, D. C., under the chairmanship of John J. Eagan of Atlanta, who is president of the. Atlanta Council of Churches and one of the leading Christian layman in the South. A vice-chairman is to be appointed. The Commission is made up of about one hundred leading representatives of the white and colored churches, the majority being residents of the South. MANASSAS INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL SUMMER SESSION A SUCCESS The whole day was spent in discussing the distinctive contribution of the churches to bettering relations between the races. It was agreed that the Church, being committed to the principle that humanity is an organism, cannot accept as a satisfactory solution the theory that inter-racial conflict is inevitable, or that the races should be segregated from each other, or that they should be amalgamated, or that any one race is meant to have special privileges which are to be denied to others. The Christian solution lies in the races living together in mutual helpfulness, service and goodwill. "The problem of race," said Dr. Robert B. Spear, president of the council, at the opening meeting, "are the most difficult of mankind. They make the most searching tests of our ideas and principles. We as Christians, reject the theory of conflict and force as means of solving these problems. We reject the theory of separation as a solution. We must work out the problems of the white and Negro races together. We are all committed to the idea that cooperative good-will can solve these problems." The following statement was unanimously adopted as expressing the general program of work for the commission: "To assert the sufficiency of the Christian solution of race relations in America and the duty of the churches and all their organizations to give the most careful attention to this question." To provide a central clearing-house and meeting-place for the churches and for all Christian agencies dealing with the relation of the white and Negro races, and to support their activities along this line: To promote mutual confidence and acquaintance, both nationally and locally, between white and Negro ministers, especially by state and local conferences between white and Negro ministers, Christian educators and other leaders, for the consideration of their common problems; To arrive the sentiment of the LADIES—LADIES— REMOVAL NOTICE I take this opportunity of informing my many friends and well-wishers that on and after the eighth of August, 1931.

But if I would offer a criticism, I concern techhism, if it would be of a tendency of the author to be a descriptive at times, thus devising the mind of that little stretch of the imagism so highly essential to a full enjoyment of works of fiction. We are conscious with the author of the fatality of not saying enough but that there is that other danger of saying too much which must also be avoided if we would have our work stand the test of time. The work as a whole makes good and interesting reading and for many reasons should be read by those who are interested in the problem of racial and color differences. The book can be secured from the Neale Publishing Company, 440 Fourth avenue, New York, N. Y. Largest Enrollment in the History of the Institution —Every Available Cottage and Building Crowded The Eleventh Summer Session of the Manassas Industrial School was a genuine success. No similar session in the history of the institution has attracted such a large number of teachers. The Teacher Training Course, which was conducted under the Department of Public Instruction, Commonwealth of Virginia, attracted more than two hundred teacher from many counties in the State. Through the magnanimity of the educational authorities, a special opportunity was offered to members of the colored race to pursue courses leading toward Second, First and Elementary Professional Certificates. The flourishing Summer School must be largely attributed to the stellar leadership of Mr. Edward D. Howe, director. Principal Howe, through intense publicity, was able to inspire one hundred and ninety-seven teachers to study through the hot weather and take their examinations. Every octave dormitory and room were filled up with seekers of knowledge. Each county in Northern Virginia was well represented and also various other counties of the State. A most complimentary and appreciative letter was directed to Mr. Howe, principal of the school. Great praise was bestowed upon him on account of his careful stewardship of the State's funds. As director, he was able to establish the record of carrying on the institute at the lowest cost of the any Director of a Colored Summer School in Virginia. The regular fall term begins September 27.

Ever since our President-Genocally wrote to the Lithuania of Panama, a noticeable change has occurred in the lists of every wide-awake Negro domiciled in this city. The spirit of the New Negro has now become dominant and Negroes everywhere are beginning to realize the significance of the U. N. I. A. & A. C. L. Despite the many efforts of the enemies of the race to subvert the government of the U. N. I. A. & A. C. L. in Panama, the Panama Division No. 8 has not only successfully repulsed the enemy from time to time, but has been successful in weakening their forces considerably by having the majority of them imbued with the spirit of the New Negro. The influence of the U. N. I. A. & A. C. L. is being felt throughout, and many of the Doubling begins to admit that Carvayism is the only calvation for the Negro. We have also organised a Sunday school, where we endeavour to teach the free religion of Christ, free from second and creed. We are now commonly working for the construction of a large office to house our membership, which has become so large as to warrant all available buildings inadequate. A notice must be given to the authorities and local members of this division, too numerous, to mention, but notably, our president, Mr. C. A. Graham, our general secretary, Mr. B. A. Brennan, our treasurer, Mr. J. E. Kilroy, and our chaplain, Mr. H. E. Wynter. These officers have held their positions ever since the organisation of the division, which is an indubitable proof of their stick-to-it-veens, their indomitable courageous temperament and their dog-town tenacity. Too much praise cannot be given to Mr. G. A. Graham. During the construction days of this division when many days maddened with colonial distractions and misuse of reason, launched themselves, out, perpetrating abuse and regular applications of mean antipodes to destroy this division and thereby ingratiate themselves, Graham, with the same adaptation to this specific duty, not only successively called their plan, but was instrumental in the thrusting out of many complications, especially that variable evil, colonial claustro. Many were his accomplices after a grusome competition they finally drunk away, leaving him a visitor in the field of achievement. are still pressing onward and upward to the mark of the high calling set forth by our great leader, the Hon. Marcus Garvey. Although having quite a little trouble with the enemies of the organization, but still with the unshaken confidence we have in our great leader, the Hon. Marcus Garvey, we will not stop until we have reached the goal set forth by our great leader. Sunday was a red letter day with us at the Mount Tabor Baptist Church, a well selected program being rendered. The topic of the program was to convey a message to the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world. Rev. G. W. Roane and Mira Alice V. Davenport were the principal speakers. Rev. Roane gave a wonderful address in which he said that the Hon. Marcus Garvey had accomplished more in three years and a half than of the Negroes have accomplished in fifty-odd years, and many other encouraging things which space will not permit. Mrs. Alice V. Davenport, the second vice-president of our organization, was the next speaker who gave a wonderful address in which she urged the members to be loyal to the red, black and green, the flag of our Motherland Africa, and explained to them the meaning of the different colors, and as our flag waved in the balmy breeze it seemed to welcome us all back to our Motherland. In her closing remarks she asked God's blessings in behalf of this great organization and our great and fearless leader, the Hon. Marcus Garvey. Yours for success. B. L. JOHNSON. Secretary of Richmond Division THE U. N. L. A. IN CARDIFF STAGES AN- NIVERSARY CONCERT THE U. N. L. A. IN CARDIFF STAGES AN- NIVERSARY CONCERT Though we are greatly handicapped in many ways materially, we are nevertheless fighting on in a spirit of never yielding determination for the principles of "Garveyism" as given to the world of our grand old race through the U. N. L. A. and A. C. L. movement. Being unable to send a delegate to the annual convention now sitting in New York, we have among the three Divisions here namely: "Newport-Cardiff", "Barry" and "London" hold a local representative meeting in celebration of the opening of the great convention in New York, U. S. A. By this means we join all hearts and voices, in the most enthusiastic manner, in our greetings to the great convention assembled in N. Y. May the great God of our fathers and of our present and future generations through the area bless our leader, the "Hon. Marcus Garvey" and chosen High Potentate of our grand and glorious race and nation. And may His spirit of love and wisdom guide and direct us in all our deliberations during the sitting of our high officials and delegates, from the four quarters of the earth, in their work of sharing the glorious destiny of our race. This we humbly offer as our earnest prayer and our hearty greeting from this little band of U. N. I. A. workers here. We deeply regret that our financial condition is such that we are not able to do a greater work along that line, still we are struggling on with the star of hope still visible and too sure that deliverance day is not far off. Here, attached you will find a copy of the program as rendered at our meeting on Aug. 1 as a thank giving celebration for or in honor of the great convention which opened in our great "Liberty Hall" on that day. The program being carried out as per attachment, which I hope will be inserted in an issue of the "World," so that our brothers and sisters may see that we, here in England, are fully awake to the great new spirit of our people and that our hearts are full to overflowing of zenotic pride or of in the achievements of our great and able leaders, and would to God we were in a position to do more, because we fully realize that in unity of action lies our ultimate success as a race. In conclusion, again, may I express the hearty and enthusiastic greetings of the three Divisions on this side in Great Britain, via: 88th of Harry, 93th of Cardiff-Newport and 94th of London. W. I.

THE NEGRO WORLD; SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 3; 1021 HAMTRANCK U. N. L A. AND A. C. L. CELEBRATES U. N. L A. CONVENTION The Hamtramck division of the U. K. I. A. and A. C. I. celebrated the second international convention on Sunday, August 21. The weather was fine and beautiful, and the golden rays beamed down upon the village of Hamtramck, Mich. The sons and daughters of Ethiopia turned out on mass to pay their respects to the parent body. The great interest that Hamtramck division takes in the redemption of our motherland was manifested by the crowd assembling at the church long before the appointed time to hear a wonderful program that will go down in history At 2:20 o'clock sharp the African Legions, headed by Lieut Melvin J Williams general secretary and Sergei Jerry in command of the first platoon, marched by the reviewing stand and took their place as the advance guard for the sons and daughter of Ethiopia. At 3 o'clock President Leo Whitaker and First Vice-President James W Williams, wearing red, black and green casheas, passed the reviewing stand and were greeted with cheers, the crowd singing the Ethiopian anthem. The Black Cross Nurses, headed by the president Mrs Lee, were in line, each face beaming hope and confidence in the ultimate redemption of Africa. The next to show was the ladies division, led by the lady president Mrs Mary Perry, with the firm tricad of veterans of the late world war occupying seats in the center of the church. The Juveniles were seated long before the meeting began The Rev T H. Ford Attorney Joseph S. Croom and the Rev James Bigga, the speaker of the house, were escorted to the rostrum amid great cheers. First Vice-President James W Williams called the house to order, and after song, prayer and Scripture reading by Mra Mary Perry, lady president. Rev Gordon, who was to make the opening address, was absent and his place was filled by First Vice-President James W Williams, master of ceremonies, who made an earnest appeal to the people on the necessity for building a government by Negroes. His remarks were timely and his eloquence roused his hearsay. He told the knockers that if they can do nothing but disparage the movement they should remain at home, this is no time for pessimists. Instead it is the time to prepare for the redemption of Ethiopia. Great cheers resounded through the church which could be heard two blocks away. The audience manifested its faith that the redemption of Africa will come soon or late. The bill of rights was read by Levt. Melvin J. Williams, general secretary, being received with great applause. Mra. Hattie Minor read a paper, the subject being "The Road to Success," and it was greatly appreciated by the large audience. Mra. Lee, president of the Black Cross Nurses, thrilled her hearers with an account of the part the Black Cross Nurses are to play. Mra. J. H. Crockat had as her subject "The Progress of the Negro in the Past Fifty-six Years," which was well received. Brother Mormon made a few brief but pointed statements, while Brother G. Harper also spoke interestingly. The master of caremonies said that it was his great pleasure to introduce one whom he loved and who was responsible for the existence of the division in the village of Hamtramck. The president was eloquent and at times he could hardly be heard because of the continuous applause that punctuated his brilliant talk. He told his hearsers that they should not worry about how they will get to Africa, for Marcus Garvey would soon have ships of the Black Star Line mailing the seven seas, and that Hamtramck division will soon make it possible to eat breakfast in Hamtramck, Mich., and supper in London and breakfast in Liberia, Africa. He made it clear that, in combination with Ethiopia, the Hon. Marcus Garvey, President General of the provisional government of Africa, would shortly free the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world. In conclusion he made his final appeal to enlist under the colors of the red, the black and the green, which would soon be recognized as the colors of one of the greatest governments the world has ever known. Mrs. Mary Perry rendered a solo in excellent manner and Brother James Lee made a few timely remarks on the subject "Make Your Words Count for something." Attorney Joseph E. Groom talked on "The Babylonian Statutes" and for forty-five minutes held the audience spilbound amid constant cheering for the redemption of Africa. A dust was rendered by Mines. Lillian Hughes and A. Peedon, which was thoroughly enjoyed. Rev. James Bigga was introduced by the master of coronaries. Rev. Bigga told of how pround he was to be one enlisted under the red, the black and the green, and that he had left a sick bed to make an appeal for the redemption of Africa. His remarks were encouraging. He aroused considerable interest by relating stories of his native home in Jamaica. He narrated many events associated with his trip to Africa on a mission of research. He told of the great suffering in the Congo Free State, which he was ordered to have leave because he gave proper counsel to the African. He dwelt upon the prosperity that awaits the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world, finishing his remarks by making an appeal for all the sons and daughters of Ethiopia to join the U. M. L. A. and A. C. L. The last speaker was the Jay, T. H. Ford, a pioneer of the village of Hambrance. His sonplay was Spiritual Difference, and his remarks were warmly received by the audience. The golden ear was shaking into the West, an call to colors was answered by the legiona, Capt. Lee Whitlese took charge of the company, which responded to the call of the colors of the West, the black and the brown. man of the Advertisement Committee. Mrs. Dalary Pryor, for the success of the meeting. LEO WHITAKER, President. MELVIN JAMES WILLIAMS. Secretary. THE U. N. L. A. IN SPRINGFIELD, IL. The U. N. L. A., in regular session Friday night, August 19, had a most excellent and enthusiastic program. Everyone who becomes acquainted with the movement and has courage, thinks, becomes a member—they are verily catching the spirit. The principles of darvayism are being learned and spread and the people are waking up. Mr. H. Crumei, the vice-president, presided. Those responding on the program were: Rev. E. J. Jones, who made a mastership speech and expounded the gospel of the U. N. L. A., to great advantage. Mr. M. Woods delivered an address on commercialism and showed the baneful results obtaining in the ranks of the colored race, which, to date, is a race of consumers and not producers. He had historical and statistical figures to show that the Negro is a great and potential consumer Mrs. Lucy McClaim delivered a very timely, admonitory and reprimanding address, full of wise thoughts and timely suggestions. Mr. Chas. Chapman made a few very choice and valuable remarks. Old indy Hudson also made a few remarks. The meeting was indeed a good one and portends great success. The local division has over 100 members. Mrs. Mary Berry was made leader of the Black Cross Nurse Chapter. A splendid testimonial, in the shape of a financial donation, was given the organizer and his wife, who left August 20 for Jacksonville, Ill., where they will organize a division. Everything points to success. News Notes Edwards & Leveola, U N I. A. "Staunchera" have opened a meat market on El Clay street. Other businesses will be springing up rapidly.

GHTHES VILLAGE Kingdom, Jamaica, July 22, 1931—Another gem was added to the crown of the Fearless Five when at eight o'clock all roads led to the building where the glorious standard on the Red, the Black and the Green was floating in the breeze. Present at the meeting were His Excellency Sidney De Bourg: Mr. Ivan G. Aarons, chairman; Capt. J. W. Bellamy, officer in command of the U. A. L. in Jamaica, M. Liest. C. Beckford, First Jamaica U.

He then introduced the next speaker a member of the 'Fearless Five'. Mr $ ^{8}A$. M. Browne, who stirred the innermost soul of every true-hearted Negro present A recitation entitled "The Good Tim Coming" was given by the chairman. Then, in the midst of thunderous applause, he introduced His Excellency Sir Bidney De Bourg, who gave an address on "Must We Negroes Agree, Must We Negroes Unite" He said all the white races are trying to unite. General Smuta of South Africa spoke some time ago on the racial consciousness of the Negro, and appealed to the people to unite. He declared that the Negroes of Jamaica should be the first to rally to the call, realizing that our most esteemed leader was one from amongst us, but said to say we were very backward, he further said it was not all our fault, it was more the fault of the white-black man, the big black man, the low black man, but this is MANICS RINGERS_ SUPERINTENDENTS_ LET'S GET RIGHT IN it sit down and have a nice little heart other so much better when we talk to me, read this over carefully and imagine STORIES CORPORATION Required to build cars and operate factories West Indies, Central and South America and to be run wholly by Negroes.

Continuing, he made reference to the South African question. He said that the Secretary of State for the colonies said: "Could we give a band of cavages like the Negroes their own rule?" He thought it very proppereous. It is one of the greatest injustices that was done the Negroes since creation. He finally said that the redemption of Jamaica was in the hands of Jamaicans, and he appealed to them to unite all their intellectual forces together in bringing to a speedy termination the state of affaia. (Loud and prolonged applause.) He appealed for members for the association because the association is capable of taking care of its members and that the day would soon dawn when the Premier of England would cable the Hon. Marcus Garvey asking him to have a conference to arbitrate over the affairs of Africa and the Universal Negro Improvement Association. (Chewa.) The hymn "Onward, Christian Soldera," was sung, after which Lieut. Beckford addressed the audience in his usual heart-to-heart way. Another song was rendered by the co-workers of "The Fearless Five." "The Red, the Black and the Green Is Waving." Master Francis Melbourne then gave an address which was a credit to the eleven years he has been on this earth. Mr C Smart also gave a stirring address he also spoke on the success of the U N I L. A. when in one night they enrolled 88 members. (Choera). He further asked his hearers to be loyal to the organization having as their goal the redemption of Africa. He recited a poem entitled "We Must Have Liberty." A short address was then given by Capt.

L.-I beg hereby to tender you a general report of our association from its organization up to June 30 last. This division of the U. N. L. A. after one or two preliminary meetings, was duly organized on April 27, 1921, at the home of Brother and Sister Matheson. Our membership up to that time was about nineteen. Our president, Brother William Stennett, shortly after add-essed a petition to the administrator of the Mantail Sugar Company informing him of our organization and asking permission to hold meetings in Mantail and the assistance of the local police when needed. This petition translated into Spanish by Brother Philip Ochoa and to second vice-president, and to the administrator. tor by a committee consisting of our first vice-president, Brother B. B. Simms, and Brother William Holmes, our executive secretary. This petition was well considered by the administrator and all the requests asked for were granted, and in addition they granted us the free use of a building for our meetings. Brother J. T. Parris and his committee of the church were also very instrumental in the matter. We were particularly glad for this concession, as our members were growing daily which made it impossible for us to accommodate them in our first little Liberty Hall. We therefore feel thankful to our Heavenly Leader for opening the way for us and in the authorities of the Manahi Sugar Company and the church for being so generous to our society and we trust that all our members will faithfully stand by the president matron and other officers in the good work started. ```markdown ``` As executive secretary, I cannot close this report without thanking those members who have faithfully paid up their subscriptions to date, thus saving me a lot of embarrassment in making up my report to the parent body, and I take this opportunity also of calling on all those who are in arrests with their dues and administration tax to make an immediate effort to come and by so doing you will doing the same and please help the freedom of our race and the redemption of our Fatherland Africa.

Mr E. A. Rold, vice-president, occupied the chair creditably. The chaplain delivered the sermon of the afternoon, and the U. N. I. A. orchestra rose to heights of sublimity in its varied theme selections. The first of the speakers was Mr Davis. Mr. M. Russell, in a few well-chosen remarks, captivated the hearts of his hearers. Mr Russell is always interesting. The Vice-President delivered a brief address which was a characterization of the moral consciousness. Mr A. the late of Toronto spoke impressively on his reminiscences of Great Britain and other European countries. Surveying the accomplishments of former race leaders, Mr Theodore confluded that Marcus Garvey stood above all them, having diagnosed the needs of the Negro and prescribed the necessary one. His address was received whole-heartedly. His dictation was ordered and ideas ingeniously worked out. The Rev. J. Washington preachpost of New Jersey recited a few original compositions. They were very good and won the applause of all. He was introduced by the Rev O. Thompson of the Union Congressional Church who preached in the evening to a very large gathering. CHARLES H D ESTE Louis B. Wattens Literary Club Professor Ferris M A. Literary Editor The Negro World. Dear SIR: On behalf of the Lucien B. Watkins Literary Club, I wish to thank you profoundly for your invaluable services rendered in behalf of the organization of this club, which. I am sure will tend to inspire a greater love of Negro literature and an appreciation of the sublime generally. Current poetry is lacking in the qualities for whose perfection the old masters prayed and hoped and worked. The very librarian system which it augures freedom of thought and expression, destroys the grace and growth of true technique and good workmanship. The public seems so far-fetched to be serious in its appreciation of profound thoughts elegantly expressed. There is an increasing demand for the illustrious the commonplace and ridiculous. It behoves Negro posts, therefore, to aim at the grandeur of artistic creation, to go into the lanes the mirrors and commonplace and from there select characters worthy of adornment. Like George Eliot, our Negro bards should reconstruct and "redemn from decay" the lively and the fortunate. A study of the ancient Chinese poets (translated), together with the English, Latin and American classics would help to inspire freedom from detests and magnanimity of imagery. The beauty of Negro spirituality, the powerful design of Ingearsoll and Dibble, the magnetic picturization of Ferrie, and the sweet musical setting of Dumont should illuminate much light upon the roadway of Negro verse-making. Let us be faithful to the art, remembering that true poetry floods the black man's soul. CHARLES H. D. EUSTER New York, July 28, 1921. New York, July 26, 1921 Secretary General U. N. L. A., New York City. Charter Division No. 1 of Port-au- Prince, Haiti. Report Dear Sir—I arrived at Port-au- Prince on the thirteenth day of June with the charter of the Port-au- Prince Division, and found the population in high anticipations of the future. After getting in contact with the members of the association, each re- duced to attend our public meetings unless I was officially granted authori- zation by the Haitian Government to hold our meetings. On the refusal of the members to come together I immediately wrote a letter to the Haitian Minister of the Interior, asking him for the authori- zation which would empower me to hold our public meetings without trouble. In response thereto he gave me in his letter of July 13 full authority to hold our meetings throughout the Republic Notwithstanding, the people were afraid to come to the meetings, apprehending the possibility of arrest by the American authorities. Certain American newspaper articles having stated that the Hon. Marcus Garvey would not be allowed to reenter the U S A. In order to convince the people that the newspapers were mistaken with respect to the stand that they had taken against Marcus Garvey I was obliged to reply to the article through one of our loading newspapers—Le Nouvelle. After the publication of the article we held our first meeting on the 13th July and the second meeting on the 14th. In this last meeting I made an address on reconstruction, the reconstruction of the power of our branch A of the National Association of the Provisional President and Delegates who is leaving Port-au-Prince in order to attend the Second Annual Convention of the U N L A. to be held in Liberty Hall, New York. We have asked our Delegate to be the bearer of greetings to all members of the Society as well as to our Potentain and President-General and members of the Executive Board. We have likewise asked our Delegate to express our deep regrets of the present financial situation which does not permit us to give either to our Delegate or to the Mother Society all the satisfaction that we would like.

I was not prepared to be in Antilia tonight, but in New York for the convention tomorrow morning, but as the game is being played I am here. As true and loyal officers and members of the U. N. L. A. C. L. I feel that my duty must be done and we are expecting you to do yours (cheers) Members of the Antilla's Division, let me beseach you in the name of God to be up and doing and look forward to the good Africa (cheers).

The list of Convention Fund was distributed and a committee of sevh has been formed, by me, to control said step and to forward the funds to the general office in the town of Nouakchott. With thanks to the faithful assistance, let me say that it will be made as been as the Committee of Management makes me their report here at the Convention. Yours truly. INTERESTING U. N. L. A. MEETING HELD IN CALIAGUEY, CUBA CAMAGUEY, Cuba, Aug. 8, 1921. A large gathering was held at Camaguey's Liberty Hall on Sunday, August 7. The meeting was an exceptional one and will long be remembered by the workers of the division, as well as by the visitors. The meeting was called to order precisely at 7:30 o'clock by the acting President, Mr. Titus Myera. The opening ode was sung, followed by the reading of prayer from our Constitution by Chaplain Rodich White. The president arose from his seat amid great applause and delivered a forceful address, adding strength to the workers of the organization and encouraging strangers to become active members of the Survey movement. He then explained the aims and objects and appealed for new and more pointing out to the audience the reconception of the purpose of this institution. The explanation resulted in two new members being added to the rolls. At the close of the address a letter of resignation from our lady president, Mrs E. Parkinson, was read by the general secretary, Mrs S. Lewin, and was accepted. Two indies were nominated for the office—Miss Mary J. Sutherland and Miss Eva Hillon. The latter received a majority of two votes. Installation followed, proving an event of great interest. While the audience stood in silence the president, Mr Titus Meyer, administered the obligation. He then outlined the duties and the responsibilities of the office which the new lady president has taken upon herself. She was then called to the chair in response she rendered a beautiful solo, followed by an address, in which she said that she appreciated the honor conferred upon her The hymn, "Dare to be a Daniel," was sung, and Brother B. Harry delivered an address. Speaking on "The Principles, Alms and Objects of the N U I A and A. C. L." he kept the audience spellbound for at least fifteen minutes. He referred to the different nations of the earth, showing the time it took to organize them and to establish their governments; that these nations felt the need for independence and fought to obtain it, and as a result they are now enjoying a measure of freedom and happiness. So I is with the Negroes of today We are fighting a battle for our rights and victory is near. We shall soon see a free and redeemed Africa—Africa, thou land of our father's land where the gods love the Germans are looking to Germany; the Americans are looking to France; the Americans are looking to America, and the Negroes are looking to thee. Give me Africa, and not until then will I be satisfied. He then asked us not to look behind us or tailer to the wayide, but to continue our forward march to freedom. He said we are standing now on the top of the hill of fortune, and tomorrow we will march into Africa. After the speaker concluded his address we were honored by a surprise visit from two officers of the Cuban military forces, whom we recognized as men of high rank. One of them were the emblem of the U N.I.A. The president requested the audience to stand as the officers stepped into the hall. As soon as they were seated the president began to lecture them in their language and gave them a cordial reception. Although unable to speak Spanish fluently he was able to make his remarks clear "¡Vasu, the executive secretary," and other gentilmen also spoke. The hymn, "Onward Christian Soldiers," was sung and a collection taken. The ladies were then given the floor. Miss R. Salzwright, vice-president of the ladies' mission; Miss M. J. Sutherland and another lady stormed us with eloquent speeches. Forms for convention funds were distributed. The singing of the hymn "Now the Day Is Over." followed by the chaplain. The national anthem, "Ethiopia," brought the meeting to a close. HERMAN ANGUS. Our division is bending every effort possible to secure a new home. As soon as this is accomplished we shall be in a position to hold meetings more regularly and our members will know just when and where to find us. Some members have grown somewhat careless in their attendance. However, in the near future we hope to arouse their interest. This can be done, with the help of "One God, One Alm, One Destination" we will do it. Industrially Newport News is almost dead. Countless of our people are walking about the streets with absolutely nothing to do. Recent addresses coming from the secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, the president of the C. & O. Railroad and the vice-president of the N. N. Shipyard forecast a bright future for this section of the country. If this be true, and when good times do return, the Negro here is going to derive a much benefit as the other fellow. Therefore, we are keeping the spirit of the D. N. I. A. very much alive. Here here in Newport News wonderful things can be accomplished by the Negro, if he only knew. We have the prospect of the future. The political prospect of the future is summed up by Elyse Monroe, the author of America's bethren. Of course, everybody knows that the Virginia Republican: took a running start and religiously kicked his colored brother completely out of the political arena of the State. Now he (the colored brother) is suspended in midair and has or is about to form what is to be known as the "Lily Blacks." How long is this childish play to continue? How long before this tomotherapy is to end, making us appear before others as fool? As we look out upon the horizon of civilization we see the U. N. I. A. as the only source through which to gain our political and social distinction. Why do we see this? Because upon the strong arm of our governmental strength we can demand, not be, for the rights and privileges that are mated cut to others. This feature of development is the gospel of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and upon the strength of this principle we am finally to attain success in every respect. We are offering our prayers and financial support, as others are doing for the ultimate good of the convention in New York for the month of August. May God from His majesty throne lock down upon defensives Ethiopians have compassion upon those who have planned to defend their plans and means for the commercial and industrial advancement of the race. N. COLATUS DREW. Division Reporter. No. 1222 Twenty-seventh St. WORK OF THE HIGH COMMISSIONER IN SANTIAGO DE CUBA WORK OF THE HIGH COMMISSIONER IN SANTIAGO DE CUBA --- Mr.-Friday July 8. was red-letter day for the Santiago Division. After three nights hard work, hearing complaints from the members and straightening out the division generally, the High Commissioner came prepared to state to the members the condition of the division, and also to carry out the election of new officers. The meeting was called to order at 8 p.m. by the Lady President, with the singing of the opening ode, followed by prayer and reading by the Chaplain. The presiding officer gave her address, in the course of which she warned the members that they become financial or they would be asked to leave the hall to make way for the financial members when the time came for election. Immediately followed a short program of recitations and songs and then the issuing of certificates under the flag with all salemity, followed by the singing of the Ethiopian anthem. At this juncture collection was taken and the Lady President was given over to the High Commissioner, who had a problem that, though they had been so satisfied with the President and had held all their different opinions of him, he was pleased to see that he had been able to clear his so-called of all that he was accounted, and he (the High Commissioner), having gone through the oasis, was pleased to announce to the members that though money of the division was carelessly spent in most instances, yet he could see that the President was a most honest man, having accounted for the very last cent which passed through his hands. I will give you an instance of his honesty. You folks told me that you had a picnic on the 4th ultimo, and that it had been a failure. Well, there was about a pound of cheese left and, would you believe me, that old man locked it up in that room rather than use it, because it was the association's property. I had to entreat to use it before it spoiled. Now, friend to use it before it spoiled. Must you want a greater proof of honesty? must also recommend to you your bookings to see by his books that he is also honest man. And your Executive Secretary, I am sorry he is too sick to be out tonight, as I like to give a man roses while he can smell them, instead of a wreath when he is dead and can't appreciate it. He, I know, from Panama as an honest fellow, and also a man of ability. He understands his work. After instructing the people with the duties of the Executive Officers, the Legion, Black Crusade Nurses, Triste Board, and Honorable Advisory Board, respectively, followed the election of new officers, the High Commissioner having dissolved the former Executive Board, it being incomplete. The election then started and Mr. John H. Taylor was, as President, Mr. J. O. B'Brien, First Vice-President; Mr. H. Stonewall Jackson, Third Vice-President; Miss C. Cole, Second Lady Vice-President; Mrs. David Scott, Third Lady Vice-President; Mr. Alex. R. Pugh, General Secretary; elected; Miss C. G. Walters, Lady President; Mrs. Iva Kelman, First Lady Vice-President; Mr. Raymond Martinez, Second Vice-President; Mr. H. S. Smith, Executive Secretary; Miss Eva Plummer, Associate Secretary; Mr. Frank Ferguson, Treasurer; and Mrs. Habel, Mortimer, Assistant Treasurer. The officers were then installed by the High Commissioner, and everybody seemed pleased with the new staff of officers. It was moved by the Lady President, seconded by Mr. Stockhauw and unanimously carried, that a vote of thanks be given the High Commissiones as a mark of appreciation for his services rendered to the division. It was also moved by the First Vice-President, Mr. J. E. O'Brien, seconded by Mr. A. Stockhauw, and carried by majority, that a purse of $20 be given the High Commissiones for this division. He was martyred, and carried by majority, that the Associate Secretary, he commissioned for his faithful service rendered, outside the times the High Commissiones remained with him. The inscription here commemorates $20 in mills, with the inscription: CLARION G. WAYFERS Lady President Gina Division, M. N. L. A. the Church. Theonly song of the evening of the D. F. I. A. At its present, the great D. N. K. A convention which was held in New York City in August, 1829, in its second breaking period, was get a view of the Black Stars that steamship and many, other stirring scenes. Mr. Fewren, in a well-prepared picture, convinced the people that the black man was capable of doing anything that; any other life could do with like surroundings. Sunday at 8 o'clock in m. K. Neston spoke of the Baptist Church and as 11 o'clock at the Wilson Church F. W. Baptist Church. At 12 o'clock, m. the mission was issued at the First Baptist Church. The president of the mission, the Rev. H. E. Eldridge, called the house to order. A selected chorung "My Country 'Tis of Thee." Prayer by the Rev.

Mrs. G. C. Thomas read a paper subject, The Proclamation of Truth, which enclosed by bill. We could briefly see that the U. N. L. A. is a vital institution in carrying out the spirit of Mrs. Thomas' discourse. The speaker for the evening, Dr. H. W. Pearman, state organizer, was introduced by the Rev. John A. Mahnus pastor of the First Baptist Church, who stated, in short, that the U. N. L. A. under proper guidance was the greatest organization the Negro could be identified with save the Christian church. Mr. Pearman then came to the stand and for about one hour held his audience spallbound as he laid before them undeniable facts. He said that if the Negro was to have a place at the top among the other races of the world he had to make that place for himself; that the greatest hindrance of the Negro today was the lack of confidence and courage in his face and himself; that the Negro must make a place in the world for his children and his children's children; appealed to his hearers to enter the commercial field, operate grocery stores, store shoes, or goods stores, factories, and do everything that we see, other races doing that is good. We are hoping that it will be like Mr. Pearman will get on the field and make our own suitable work. Fourth. "Silver and Blue Evening Gown." Relieved with flame-coloured tulle and Duchess satin.

Sharperson Young's original creation, the last of the scene, was the "Noble Duchase" Mrs. Gilva Brown, garbed in a mode of the "Carvey Gown," named for His Excellency Marcus Garvey. Black sequined mounted on taffeta chameaux, cascades of black octagam mesh, adorned the sides of the silhouette, while the "Carvey green" began at the shoulders headed with crimson tassels. The new stylish, feather-finny black fabric, chameaux arranged, crowned the gorgeous garment and the display. Pride, love and his-kind special music for this part of the show, "Nuff said." The prelative individual design of all designers and gilders of the U. N. I. A. is Mme. Young, and when our textile garment factories are in operation many new unimproved will have much to do. If it is to be hoped that the U. N. I. A. will be able to avail itself of the services of Mme. M. Sharperson Young and Mrs. Helen Weeks. On Sunday, August 9, we had an hour forable time there. The L. O. order of Mechanics and the L. O. or U. diameters tans and D. of H. hold a joint dailion tion at that new Iodo room in Barril Malquia, bringing themselves in uni- son with the L. O. of Gallian Falker men. Several addresses were delivered on the occasion. Nurses Burrows of the Mount Dividy, delivered an brilliant address, urging the reasons to get in line and assist our tumultuous leader. The nurses each have two children. Moore and Miles Burrows, tendered a beautiful title, namely, "Honorable." Our little program was as follows: THE U. N. I. A. IN WILSON. N. C. The division, under the leadership of the Rev. H. E. Edwards, is doing well, yet it has not got the membership, nor does it carry, that attractive or compelling force which, will draw man and woman which it should have, being an institution for the bringing together the people of the Negro race, thereby enabling them to be better prepared to hold their place as a race among the races of the world. But we only be discouraged, because, it will only be a great help we can have in a few impressive meetings, the one we had. Sunday, the 41st time, of which we will hereinafter mention briefly.

Here he His Highness the Potentate occupied the throne seat, the Provisional President of Africa sitting on his right, while the American Leader sat on his left, His Grace the Chaplain General sitting to the right of Mr. Garvey. The unified division then marched and counter-marched in various evolutions, displaying their thorough training in military marching. Each division did well and elicited enthusiastic applause by their performance. This was followed by the announcement by Capt. C. E. Gaines, Minister of Legends, that the Court Reception was obliged to be opened. The Chaplain-General threepound stood and offered, prayer, invoking God's divine blessing upon the occasion and upon all assembled. He then delivered the following address: Your Supreme Highness the Potent- ment of the Universal Negro Improv- ement Association, your Excellency the Provincial President of Africa, your Excellency the American Leader, your Excellency the Leader of the Eastern Payments of the West Indian Right Hcn- Members of the High Executive Coun- club. Ladies and Gentlemen—I am instructed for the next three or four minutes to say a few words expla- natory of this auspicious and momentous expedition in the history of the Negro race. In all the centuries past since the days of the ancient glories of Ethiopia the eyes of man have not man such a glorious and gorgeous era of the sons and daughters of Africa as we witness here tonight. I believe that prophecy is about to be fulfilled and will be fulfilled. The ancient glories of Ethiopia, especially at here, where the tributaries of the Nile surmounted that wonderful capital of ancient Ethiopia and where the rite of our race revealed with pomp and with glory such as we are enjoying tongue. But those days for many countries have gone. In this year of Grave Auto Domini one thousand nine hundred and twenty-one, we see being received something of the ancient counts of the nations of Hamitio decem. RECEPTION REVIVED 'MID SPLENDOR tors took place—more than two hundred in number. Then were presented Missile Violet Robinson, Ethel Collins, Carmena Tobit and Irene Callender, as the occasion of making their social debut. Miss Carmena Tobit is the oldest daughter of West Indian Leader Tobit. She is 20 years of age, and received her schooling in Bermuda, where she was born, graduating from St. George's High School, where she afterwards became an assistant teacher. She is now pursuing a course in miltary and art work in New York. She is chaperoned by her aunt, Mrs. William Watkins of Newport, I. She miss Irene Callender is the daughter of Mrs. Helen Weaker, is 14 years of age, and is said to be an exemplary character, disposition, and standing Grammar School and is a faithful member of the U N L A. choir. She is an accomplished pianist and voluntarily gave her services to Liberty Hall in its early days when there was no one else to play the piano during the services and musical programs. Mr. Vernal J. Williams, of the Field Corp., announced the name of each individual as he or she was presented, the person being presented then made a low bow to His Highness the Potentate, who, while sitting, bowed in return. The last presentation was that of Miss Henrietta Vinton Davia, International Organizer; Dr. Dr. William H. Ferril, M.A., Literary Editor of the Negro World; Mr George Tobias, Treasurer of the U N I. A. and Black Star Lina, and Mr John E. Bruce, noted journalist and writer. These persons were presented, with the exception of Mr. Tobias, to receive the honor of Knighthood of the Sublime Order of the Nile for distinguished services rendered to the Negro race. Mr. Tobias was welcomed to the honor of the recipient of the award of Diploma. The Chaplains General delivered the address in conferring the title, the language of which in each instance was as follows, with modification according to the name of the person receiving the title and the kind of service rendered by him or her: "Henrietta Vinton Davia, through the pleasure of his Supreme Highness the Potentate, you are called forth in the name of the Negro peoples of the world to have bestowed upon you the honor of Lady Commander of the Sublime Order of the Nile. You are thus honored by His Highness for the splendid service you have rendered your race in being a successful leader and organizer. "Hise, Lady Henrietta, and accept this commission to go forth as a bold lady and do further service to your people and humanity. May your Henrietta, ever hold yourself in honesty, dignity and self-respect, and thus command all men to honor and respect you for the honor conferred upon you through the gratitude of His Highness." Dr. Ferris was honored because of his services to the race "as a successful author, journalist and lecturer." Mr. Bruce was honored because of distinguished services rendered by him to the race "as a successful statesman and journalist." Mr. Tobias was honored because of "faithful and distinguished service rendered to the Universal Negro Improvement Association." After welcoming each candidate, the Chapelman General handed him or her sealed envelope containing the certificate of Knighthood, whereupon the person thus knighted areas bowed and thanked His Highness the Potentate, who in turn bowed and shook the hand of the individual presented. Miss Husin Belle Anderson then sang a sold. At this point announcement was made that a supper would be served to the high officials of the Association. As a trio, Mosdames Marie Barrier Houston, Alice Fraser-Robinson, Hattie Edwards-MoVey, sang "Africa for the Africans," an original composition (words and music) by Madame MoVey. Both numbers were rendered with great art and thought and the singers warmly and enthusiastically doubled, the three greatest female singers of the race, such as the richness, sweetness and thorough cultivation of their voices. Miss Anderson is also a noted singer, one of great promise for the future. The supper was then served, and lasted about an hour. When over, the Providential President of Africa announced that the Grand Court Ball would begin; that the first number, a walk, would be played for the special benefit of the high officials of the Association and the distinguished persons who had been knighted. Lady Henrietta Vinton Davis and His Highness the Potentate, the Auditor-General and Mrs. Garcia, Capt. G. H. Galas and Mrs. Galas, Counselor General, Wilford H. Smith and Mrs. Smith and Assistant Counselor General, Stephanie Shaw and Mrs. Matthias, practitioner of dance, while the entire assembly of people, forming a dense, closely packed ring around the dancer, poked on in admission. Lady Davis and His Highness the Potentate danced with gall and grace, and evoked considerable apliance. Lady Davis-making a charming-looking ball, while her partner made a gallant knight in his brilliant and multicolored uniform. The first number balanced the bell was thrown over to everyone, who under the meandering strides of two black ones and white ones played by the popular Black Star Jane Band, tripped the light catches too. His as the ball is with all the choreas, the musicians and the performers all enjoyed the new creation to the full. Gerald Hines also played (Galas) the THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1921 much were they enjoying themselves) thus ending the first and greatest receptions of its kind over held by Negroes for centuries past.

Menu of the Bengust The menu of the banquet was printed on a beautifully embossed card folder showing on the outside fringe lamp shades in colors of red and green with the words below, "Menu tin gold letters), First Court Reception, U N 1. A. at Liberty Hall, New York City, Saturday Evening, August 27, 1921 (all in Old English black letters), a flag in the colors of red, black and green (the emblem of the association) in the center. On the inside was printed the dishes constituting the meal which were Pomona dainty Black Cross Macaroons Assorted fruits Covers were laid for three hundred, the repeat being one of unusual excellence News of the holding of the court reception was spread throughout the city. Owing to the hall not being large enough to accommodate unlimited numbers only 500 persons were to be admitted, though it is estimated that fully 1 500 attended. Great crowds, however hung around the hall, the largest, it is said that ever was attracted to any gathered there in its history. People jammed the aldwalk and street from in front of the building down to Lenox avenue on the one side up to Seventh avenue had been unrestricted doubtless that wouldn't have been breathing space, much less standing room, in Liberty Hall even though it is the largest public meeting hall in Harlem that belongs to and is used by colored people. A UNIQUE NEGRO Mr Arthur A. S. homburg of 105 Knoelucka street, Brooklyn New York has been, for many years, the secretary of the Negro Society for Historical Research, of which Mr John Edward Bruce is the president. This society was organized to collect and preserve the memorials of Negro achievement, and to diffuse among the descendants of the Africans in this land of their dispersion some knowledge of their nobler past. It is in the secretary's presence the Prince Hall body of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of this State, and, in that capacity, is known by thousands of people all over the United States. But it is in the character of a book collector that Arthur Schomburg deserves to be best known and remembered by the people of his race. He has traveled all over the country, seeking and buying books, while in Europe, also, his name is known to English, French, German, Dutch, Danish and Spanish book sellers. As a consequence, his New York office dealing with Newspapers is the greatest in the United States. It is not a haphazard jumble of odds and ends, but a compact, systematic and well-ordered engine of research. And Schomburg knows his books! pride myself on knowing some of Negro history and literature and of the books treating of those subjects but I unhesitatingly declare that Schomburg's knowledge on these points must be at least eight or ten times as extensive as my own. Many a serviceable lead have I had from him on special points of African archaeology. West Indian and American history and biography. And yet he is emphatically a bold and bold bookmaker, a man of the world, and what we in America call "a regular feller." Despite his German-sounding name, his native language is Spanish and he still speaks English with something of a Spanish intonation although he is equally at home in both languages. For sheer erudition on Negro history and literature he is unrivalled, and I have often wished that he would take the time to write a book on Negro history. But on this matter he is like the late Lord Acton who planned the great Cambridge Modern History. The great English scholar had more learning than any other German compoers, yet he was always pursuing knowledge to turn out a single volume worthy of his great powers, and the only memorial which he left in his own line consists, as far as I know, of two volumes of historical essays. So far, Mr Schomburg has only given us a few occasional papers, an ably edited edition of Phyllis Wintleby's poems and a splendid pamphlet on "Racial Integrity: A Plea for the Establishment of a Chair of Negro History in Our Schools and Colleges." In this little brochure he packs more precise information about the great Negroes of the past than can be found in many a large and learned tome. It ranges from Aceop to Crippus Attucka, and takes in Negroes of Africa, America and the West Indies. Savanta, possesses a divinely pure heart and educators—they names and achievements are unrolled in dazzling succession, furnishing knowledge and inspiration to the Negro of today, if he would only read and learn. This little book, in zilll in print, I believe, and could be obtained from Mr Schomburg for a nominal sum. And if Schobmburg would but write the story when it his guilt of the Nest Nerro shall be shining in the senthil of his glory set to come, his name would his first historiographer of the Athens of the dispersion. MARCUS GARVEY IS A REAL LEADER Dear Sir—Permit me to express through the columns of your great journal my unstinted praise of Mr. Garvey's great speech, opening the second annual convention of the Universal Negro Improvement Association I was curious to see and hear the man whom many consider to be the greatest leader the race has ever produced I certainly was not disappointed his speech brands him a man of rare courage and conviction a man of vision and imagination. The firm stand he has taken in behalf of his race, his courageous assaults upon the great white nations which have survived him beloved Africa, his triumph appeal to black men everywhere, irrespective of allegiance to unite under the banner of his great organization, prove beyond doubt that he possesses those qualities of leadership that wins praise even from the tongue MEN AND WOMEN Why not get in the business game earlier in mind that when you begin are representing a well established agents all over the country.

Previous to Mr. Garvey's entry upon the sofa, we were accustomed to Negro leaders whose utterances were designed to catch the ear of the white community in which they were expressed, thus ingratiating themselves with the dominant race and accomplishing no real benefit for the masses of Negroes. May the great Garvey have a long and brilliant career, and in his declining years see the fruit of his labors in the form of a united Negro race, and the consciousness that when he passes from this sphere of human activity, his name will occupy a conspicuous place amongst those of the great leaders of man.
